Yudansha (black belt) class is an opportunity for black belts from different clubs to train together and to receive a wider variety of concepts from different instructors. It diversifies our training and provides the black belts to train at an more advanced level. There are usually 11 (everry month except December) Yudansha classes at Thornhill Community Center and 4 Yudansha classes at the Etobicoke Olympium (March, June, September and December).
