INTERNATIONAL CIRCLE OF MASTERS
HONORS AND AWARDS CEREMONY
Canadian edition
| The International Circle
of Masters which is based in NJ. USA holds various awards
ceremonies throughout the world. As travelling became quite
difficult for individuals from other Countries, the C.O.M. felt
it more beneficial for members in various Countries to hold
separate ceremonies.
For Canada this was held at the Personal Studio of Grandmaster Daniel Verkerke in Cambridge, Ontario Canada. NOTE: There is only one person to receive an honor award for each category. The C.O.M. registers each award for the year. We have provided a pictorial coverage below. |

SEICHO JUTSU INSTITUTE
June 19th. 2002 Seminar
Grandmaster Dr. Dan R. Mc Eaddy
Founder Angelic Ninjutsu
----------------------------------------------------------
| Seicho Jutsu Black Belts
were treated to an excellent nights training under Grandmaster
Dan R. Mc Eaddy. After the class ended the Black Belt students
remained for an evening of discussions on various topics
concerning training in the Angelic system.
It is usually only once or twice a year that the Canadian Black Belts have a chance to train with GM. Mc Eaddy. Needles to say, they all take full advantage whenever the Grandmaster visits Canada. All the students in attendance are personal students of GM. Daniel Verkerke |

CIRCLE OF MASTERS - MY
EXPERIENCES:
- by Lanore Woodruff
I felt honored that Grand Master Triplett invited his students of
all levels to the Circle of Masters gathering this past month. I
understand that usually only Masters attend these events, but Grand
Master Triplett made a decisions to include his students which truly
enhanced the feeling of the Academy being a family.
Personally, I was impressed and inspired by the demonstration that was
delivered by the higher ranked students. It gave me a taste of what I
can look forward to in my training, and showed me the talents of fellow
students.
The speeches made by all of the Masters receiving awards were very
encouraging and positive. They have worked so hard and accomplished so
much, but each one is aware that with every accomplishment comes a new
beginning. There is always more to come. I as particularly touched when
James Glendenning received his certificate and plaque. He was so
appreciative of the recognition the Circle of Masters were giving him.
One thing that has stayed with me from that day is something that Grand
Master McEaddy said. It is something that I think is crucial to serious
training. He said that,"It is dangerous to train in other systems before
you master yours". This seems like an incredibly important thing to
remember so as not to dilute the knowledge and skills that we are
gaining here with Phoenix Ninpo Ryu. It is a point I will not forget.
