Instructors

At Yodan 4th dan, a student is given an instructor’s Certificate he may be paid for teaching in a sanctioned dojo. To open a dojo, a Certified Instructor has to get a Dojo Charter from the head dojo.

Once a student has reached the level of Shihan (6th dan), the student is a fully trained Karateka and may apply to the board of directors to create their own Karate Organization and have a unique Style Name. However, all organizations must support the head dojo of the Chief Grandmaster.
