Kyoshi / Shihan,
I must admit this has taken so much time to sink in of the honour you guys have bestowed on me with the award of the rank of Sempai, receiving the recognition at the recent seminar was a massive surprise in itself... but this was indescribable.
I feel that I owe a great deal of thanks not only to you but the rest of the Kempo "family" for all the guidance and support you have all shown me in the past and I am sure in the future as well. Especially Sensei' Robert, Cameron & David who all have been inspirational to me in different ways and at different times and of course not forgetting my "partner in crime" Sempai Shaun! (still sounds strange!) who has been a great friend and training partner to me throughout our journey in Martial Arts together.

By far the most inspirational and rewarding for us is the magnificent Little Dragons of Dingwall. Sean and I have watched them develop into really great potential Black Belts week by week, they work hard, listen and never cease to amaze us with their dedication and determination to succeed. Good on ya kids keep it up!
Thank you all. I look forward to taking a leaf out of their book and continuing to develop and learn myself from you and the people I meet within the SKA & BEKA.
Best Regards,
Sempai Kevin Blyth
