Each Yudansha after gaining (BAB) recognition has the opportunity to teach at their own Dojo.

Also a program is set up for them to instruct for 3/4 hour ona a Friday evening class on an alternating basis. This will allow Yudansha without their own Dojo to gather teaching experience.

Four Instructor/Kenshusei courses are set up throughout the year, two will be for the Instructors (with Kenshusei assisting). The format being:

  • a) To work on teaching methods
  • b) Information on running your own Dojo

Please bring paper and pens to these courses.
