Training, grading and fellowship

In addition to technical work and examinations, the weekend included time together among the visiting delegations along the malecón and the hotel area of the city.

This seminar reinforces the role of affiliates outside Mexico City: Dojo Veracruz not only maintains daily practice in the port, it also opens the door to national gatherings for training and grading.
