At this year’s SSU Christmas Party held in Wales on the 7^th December 2019, Paul Lomax - 5th Dan (Along with other Senior Dan Grades in the SSU) were awarded the title of Renshi by Sensei Denis CASEY (8^th Dan UK) & Sensei Tsutomu KAMOHARA (9^th Dan JAPAN).  Renshi literally means “polished teacher.” It is the first of the shogo titles. In many martial art organizations this requires a minimum rank of godan (5th degree black belt), to be awarded this title, and to be a recognised as a qualified teacher of martial arts. Paul says it was an amazing surprise and an honour to receive this title.
