During the last two years of instruction prior to Black Belt, they have assisted at a class each week. They may then apply to our Instructor Certification Program and if accepted, begin a grueling 3 month program with Sensei. They have already proven their capability as Martial Artists and so the emphasis during this special training is on how to be good teachers. They are taught to teach in the same style as Sensei. They are taught to teach in a kind and encouraging manner.
