Any organisation, over time, has members who join, contribute and leave. Some choose to leave to continue their career elsewhere, some retire and some are told to move on. I believe it is correct to record here the achievements of people during their time in this Branch, and I am sure most will go on to further achieve in their careers. There is no doubt that whilst they were members of the Shihan-Cho Branch they made a contribution towards it’s growth and development. Similarly, the Branch made a significant contribution towards the development of their Kyokushin career. This page is simply a record of the grades achieved by people whilst they were in the Branch or in Shihan-Cho’s dojo before he became a Branch Chief. I repeat that the persons listed are not members of this Branch. They have left the Branch at different times, and for different reasons, and they no longer have any connection to this Branch. The names are listed in alphabetical order. Where known (or remembered) the approximate date of leaving the Branch is shown in brackets.
