teacher training programSuigetsu Dojo offers a unique teaching training program. All students - both children and adults - are required to learn basic teaching skills and assist with classes beginning at the rank of brown belt. All black belts are required to have basic teaching skills before testing for first degree black belt. Any student who shows interest in wanting to become a certified instructor is welcomed into our Instructor Training Program. This program provides many hours of experience and closely mentored training to help the student learn to work with both adults and children in teaching martial arts skills. When the program has been completed, the student will receive a formal Teaching Certificate. |
