There he was awarded a black belt and in 1998 a second dan according to the Japan Karate Association graduation system. After 17 years of Shotokan and championship karate he joined the KDS organization lead by sensei Mitsusuke Harada and founded the Estonian Karate-Do Shotokai (EKDS) Tallinn club where he continues to practice and teach.
