Yudansha Kai
Yudansha in Japanese means "one who carries a rank" and by extension, a black belt rank.
Yudansha Kai International
At the international level of the Federation SKIF, there is a Yudansha Kai association to which you can register from 1st Dan upwards. This membership gives you access to the Yudansha Kai training given online or at international courses by Japanese instructors.
SKIF Yudansha Kai is the official association of black belts (Dan holders) of the Shotokan International Karate-Do Federation (SKIF), created by Soke Hirokazu Kanazawa. It is an association of SKIF black belts dedicated to promoting and preserving the teachings of Soke Hirokazu Kanazawa. Membership is entirely voluntary but is reserved exclusively for SKIF black belt holders.
Yudansha Kai in Belgium
At SKIF Belgium level, all holders of a minimum 5th grade are automatically members of the Belgian Yudansha Kai.
The main role of the Yudanshakai Belgium is to organise the Yudansha Kai technical courses and to ensure consensus between Yudansha Kai members when technical rules are changed. Only a member of the Yudansha Kai Belgium may apply to be Chief Instructor of SKIF Belgium.
The Yudansha Kai is chaired by Sensei Achour Bakkioui, 7th Dan.
