Most martial arts practitioners own a budopass: a booklet (usually issued by their federation ot by their dojo) which records the rank exams and any seminars they went to.

While I am still studying with the same Sensei, in the 20+ years of my practice I had to change my booklet 3 times (so far) due to having moved from a federation to another.

Here I list the seminars I took part in, along with the actual page of my budopass recording the event.
