| Message | Hello Sensei! Thank you very much for the clinic that was held this past weekend. It was the most inspirational yet! Everyone was so enthusiastic and yet at ease. We particularily enjoyed the review of kata and the special shindo techniques, proving once again, albeit in different ways, that constant practice and a good attitude are two of the keys to success. Thanks again. The Borle Family. |

| Message | Hello Sensei, I would like to express my gratitude and appreciation for you taking your time to teach us in Edmonton. Your words and wisdom were moving, not only in the topics of karate but also life. Your discussion of family, and how to always be true to yourself (even when your standing alone) inspired me. The message that I took from the clinic to keep close to my heart is that it’s not one's job, family name or number of friends that defines a person, it’s their actions. If you always do what you feel is morally right (with no wavering) at the end of the day you’re a “good” person and it’s easier to look in the mirror if that’s what you see looking back. And for this I thank you. I look forward to seeing you again, Rory |

| Message | Hello Sensei: I want to thank you for instructing the 2008 fall clinic in Edmonton, Alberta. I also want to thank you for your enlightening speeches in the aspects of honor, respect, humility, loyalty, and humbleness. Also, with respect of unity, how we should continue to work together in friendship and growth. For all the readers, you have to remember what Sensei Leonard sacrifices in being our Sensei. He works at night, spends time with his family during the day, and trains in karate. Not only that, he travels across Canada teaching the traditional aspects of Wado Kai Karate. Does he ever complain? No, he does not. He gives his time to show what a true traditional master does in carrying his passion. No ego just pure heart. And that is the way how we should train. Pure heart. There are things that hurt us and disppoint us but I have learned that you cannot carry that for it will become heavier and heavier. It was an honor watching you grade your son, Joshua, Sensei, in Edmonton. From all of us here, thank you. Sensei Karen Holowaty, thank you for accompanying Sensei and his son here to Edmonton. I will do and continue to do so. Thank you for your guidance, Sensei. |

| Message | Hello Sensei, Thank you for all the time you spent with us this past weekend at our Edmonton Clinic. I had an amazing time and felt that I found a deeper level of confidence and understanding over the weekend. Practicing sparring techniques with Sensei Holowaty was very beneficial and definately helped me understand the feeling of the proper block in a given situation and also how a punch should feel, whether I was throwing it or I was being hit. I look forward to working on it all further and improving all the more. Thank you for trusting us with our Shindos, I will never forget that, nor will I abuse it. It was a honour to be witness to the grading of Sensei Bowen, Sensei Joshua, Sensei Mike and Sensei Graham. I appreciate beyond words the fact that we get to hear your stories, learn with you, and take with us the anceint style you have stayed true to and so humbly pass on to your students. It is a pleasure to hold this antique and keep it safe. Thank you for everything Sensei, I cannot wait for the next clinic in the spring. Best wishes to you and yours. |
