This person has shown knowledge and understanding of all basic techniques which Shinkyokushinkai's Karate-do requires and will be signed into Shinkyokushinkai Organisation's registry with a grade...

I'm not sure if I can put it right...

One more question

I can't help you with the first one, but I can with the second.

in that sentence:

That's actually two sentences. どうだい? 見たくないか? "How about it? Don't you want to see [it]?" だい is an interrogative particle much like か that is used only with "wh-" questions words ("who," "when," "where," etc. [also "how," even though it isn't technically a "wh-word"]), and is also very intimate. So you'd use it only with people you feel close to.
