SHOTO is very proud to announce that both Sensei Steve Johnson and Sensei Gareth Waldram have been awarded Shichidan (7th Dan)
Both Steve and Gareth have trained consistently with SHOTO for over 40 years, training with both Sensei John Blain and the late Sensei John Morgan. They are seen here with Sensei John Blain (SHOTO Head of Association) receiving Sensei John Morgan's belts. Both Steve and Gareth are longstanding members of Harpenden Club and are on the SHOTO Technical Committee. The success of many of SHOTOs events and activities is due in no small part to their hard work and dedication.
I’m sure that you will all join me in congratulating both Steve and Gareth, on this well-deserved mark of recognition on their karate journey.
