On February 26, 2005, Pacific Shintaido offered examinations at Kangeiko. Examiners were Joe Zawielski Sensei and David Franklin Sensei.
Shintaido examinations provide an opportunity for assessment of our practice by several very senior instructors. Exams are rigorous and challenging, and it is quite common for a practitioner to repeat the same exam several times before advancing to the next level.
We celebrate the commitment and courage of all examinees, who spend long hours in preparation and then demonstrate their form in front of the examiners and the audience.

Luis Kong has created a slideshow movie of his photos from the Pacific Shintaido Kangeiko which has been added to the gallery.
The movie is 8.2 megabytes in size. If you are on a dialup connection, it will take a while to download before it begins playing. Also, please note that you need to have Quicktime installed on your computer to play the movie.
The movie is quite beautiful and includes Japanese flute (shakuhachi) and Japanese drum music (taiko) to accompany the photos.
