June 8, 2006
On June 8th, 2006 Sensei Albert was presented with his Rokudan (Sixth Degree Black Belt) by his long time instructor, Professor Georges Sylvain (Judan). Sensei Albert began his martial arts training with Sensei Sylvain in 1967 and has remained a dedicated student over the many years. Recently, Sensei Albert helped Sensei Sylvain produce his outstanding book, "Can-Ryu Jiu Jitsu 2000: A 50 Year Journey Into The Study And Evaluation Of Self-Protection Techniques".
Sensei Albert's students and family were in attendance for the low-key award ceremony during which Sensei Sylvain lauded Sensei Albert's dedication and his success at building a real family-oriented environment in his Dojo.
Congratulations Sensei Albert, and thank you for your many years of dedication to the Rideau Osgoode Karate Club and its members!
