who will pass on your request to the examiners.
The examination board will not request any repeats.
- see
sample
evaluation forms for both kendo and kata
- menjo (rank certificates)
- do not bring a check for menjo to the shinsa.
- an official menjo requisition form created from the official
results of the shinkyu shinsa will be emailed to each dojo
shortly after the shinsa
- note that AUSKF now only offers English menjo
- the menjo will be printed with names as they appear on the form,
which are how they are recorded in the AUSKF membership form
- if you wish to make any name changes, please include a note
describing your change in detail.
We will need to make a change request to the AUSKF treasurer, as
they will be confirming kenshi names and membership status prior
to menjo printing.
- menjo fees
will be printed on the form
- menjo fees are not optional; they are in fact a certification fee
paid to AUSKF to register the new rank.
A kenshi who does not pay the fee will remain at their old rank.
- make check payable to Southern California Kendo Federation
(not abbreviated "SCKF").
- send your check by 5/17/13 to:
Dennis Ralutin,
210 N Hoover St, Los Angeles CA 90004
If modifications are necessary, please email your modified
form to both
Dennis Ralutin
and
Jean Kodama

email.
