PSAppreciate the convo brother… Sam trained with me from white belt… Southern Tribes Aotearoa was founded by me & Carl Moke so our signatures are on all certificates. We Joined Tsunami 2018. John gave us our 1st Degrees then. John gave his blessing to grade Sam(& others) as we were on our 2nd lockdown & he couldn’t come here.
JBut why then not 2:nd degree in 2018, pre-covid, when you got a 1:st degree diploma from him? Also, both you and John signed Sam's BB diploma in 2022 but you didn't get yours for 2:nd degree until a year later, even though you had been a BB for 10 years already in 2022? Btw, I really don't question your ranks - rather the opposite. But Sam has written only you as promoting instructor for BB in 2022, even though you weren't formally a 2:nd degree (but diploma says John as well
PSCovid delayed Prof. John Ouano from coming to NZ to do promotions. 2026 im 14 years Black..
