We, the undersigned senior grades of Tsuru Budo-Kan, hereby formally recognize and promote F. Keith Hammett to the rank of 8th Dan (Hachidan) in acknowledgment of his exceptional dedication, leadership, and lifelong contribution to the practice and philosophy of Budo.
This promotion is awarded in the absence of a higher-ranking authority within our organization and is based on the unanimous agreement of the senior grades, who have witnessed and benefited from Sensei Hammett’s unwavering commitment to the development of students, the preservation of traditional values, and the advancement of skills and knowledge.
We affirm that this recognition reflects not only technical mastery but also the embodiment of the spirit, discipline, and integrity that define the highest levels of Budo.
We respectfully submit this promotion with the deepest admiration and gratitude.
Signed,
James Richards Paula Scadgell
