Teaching standard
More than technical ability
Our instructors work with people from many martial arts backgrounds. They must understand the group in front of them, adapt the teaching without diluting the principles and create a safe environment where participants can question and learn.
Communicate clearly
Explain the purpose, not only the movement.
Respect other styles
Help practitioners grow within their own art.
Keep developing
Train beyond familiar answers and remain open to correction.
