In martial arts it is important that we maintain standards. Instructors must be tested to ensure that a martial art does not weaken over time through poor teaching practices. These standards are assessed by a central body so that the art can be passed on properly and upheld for future generations. Certificates are issued to formerly recognise membership of the association and the instructor level attained. As a senior instructor I have a proven history of teaching that has been accepted and certified. I have taught many students over many years including to instructor level.
