Moses family scores another first

GKC potential kata team for the IKD World Cup 2022 in Guyana. Left to right: Latisha, Pauline, and Rose Moses show perfect form.

Fresh off of their April 30, 2021, grading from white to brown belt, the Moses sisters from Wowetta have done it again.

On July 23, the GKC sisters, Rose and Pauline Moses, and 13-year-old Anusha Jodhan from 3 Ryu Karate Club were promoted from the third KYU to the first Dan black belt. Another fantastic and remarkable achievement. 

Precedence was set in 1971 when 21-year-old Frank Woon-A-Tai was graded on a Friday from white belt to the third kyu by Master Hirokazu Kanazawa in Tokyo, Japan. Three days later, on Monday, he was promoted to First Dan Black Belt by a panel of masters headed by the late Master Takahashi.
