Osu,

I was thought that a -HO grade was like an award, where someone got graded to a specific grade but isnt training or not training anymore. Like Shodan-ho to a secretary who has done many years for an organisation or godan-ho to an official who has provided many oppertunities for an organisation in a specific country (i think President Putin, was graded to godan-ho by kancho Matsui or Shihan Royama)....

One of the things that kept me going was a good instructor,... he told me, you have now climbed the first step of a long ladder, keep at it and make some more steps....

Osu
