Register of Instructors
Instructors in UKKA
must have the relevant ANKF rank to be recognised as an instructor.
The
grading system is ranked from 1-8 dan ( black belt equivalents) and
requires a practical and written test. Higher grades have a two-part
practical exam and in some cases a written thesis. The titles are
Master (Hanshi), Teacher (kyoshi), and Instructor (renshi) and
apart from the Master level which is conferred by recommendation, these
levels also require a practical and written examination.
Instructors must attend national seminars and the
annual European seminars to be familiar with the correct levels of
practice and safety requirements.
On average there is 2 year period of experience
between
grades. For renshi holders, on average 10 years, and kyoshi
from 15-25 years of experience.
Instructors must hold the required instructor insurance cover.
