2015 or 15th annual IKC

We have given yearly awards for the top Mentor, Researcher, Ambassador and Dedication:
1. Mentor Award, top instructor that gets on the mat and leads by experience. Teaching openly with their heart and soul, in a clear understandable manner.
2. Research Award, given to those that develop and idea or direction of study. Not only bringing new information to light, but also the ability to teach others how to implement the knowledge in their own style.
3. Ambassador Award, will be given to the individual that brings people together. Who has traveled and openly shared Kyusho in many locations around the world.
4. Dedication Award will be given to the individual that displays the most dedication and determination in learning as a student of the art.

This is actually a small fraction of what he has accomplished, as he also has several Taekwondo and Kickboxing schools he has opened this past year.
Daniel has devised a very successful manner of helping his Study Group Leaders as well as adhering strictly to the protocols and strict requirements in Kyusho International. Using our powerful training system, these people are opening all of Asia to the benefits of Kyusho. This includes a lot of work and travel and challenge (especially out of his own country and in a secondary language as barrier).
Star Achievement Award
The Star achievement Award is based on the uniqueness of a star, no not like a hollywood false actor, but like a celestial entity that radiates so much energy that the universe is completely affected.
With so much accomplished we have awarded Kyusho's first ever Star Achievement Award, and so the star may shine as brightly as it can be other yearly awards are suspended.
And always remember that our Kyusho International Members are the best in the Kyusho World, Daniels' skills attest to that as well...
