INSTRUCTOR QUALIFICATION
Our instructor system and the Sport (Coaching) qualifications required:
Becoming an instructor in our organisation requires commencing a Sport (Coaching) course through us, it is not simply a right of 'martial arts rank' it can be commenced
at Green Belt (after 160 hours minimum training time) at Sosai Gary's discretion.
Note:
the instructor system is not a way to progress through the belts faster
than normal, ONLY individuals with FULL commitment to our organisation and
that are prepared to give their time to become a teacher for the benefit
of the students (non selfish reasons) will be excepted.
A minimum set of hours is required before the 'instructor title' is offered, however the 'instructor title' is not official until the Sport (Coach) Certificate is completed.
A different fee structure exists for our instructor courses. Cost on application. Minimum age is 13
