New CHUDEN MENKYO

Thierry Becquet (France), Michaël Fernandez (Belgium), and Lior Shiffer (Israel) are honored.

The title Chuden Menkyo is a Japanese term that can be translated as "License of Completion" or "Certificate of Competence." In the context of martial arts, it often refers to an advanced level of mastery or the completion of a learning path.

The term "Chuden" generally means "end" or "completion," while Menkyo refers to a license or certificate that attests to acquired skills. Together, these words evoke the idea of having reached a high level of competence in a discipline, often after years of practice and study.

In some cases, "Chuden Menkyo" can also be used in academic or professional contexts to denote the official recognition of acquired skills or knowledge.
