Our club instructors are not only well-trained in Shotokan
Karate, they are experienced teachers as well. ShotoCanada has an instructor
certification program that ensures teachers know how to impart their knowledge
safely and effectively. In addition, we have an in-club training and mentoring
program where black belts are drilled on the ShotoCanada syllabus, kata, and kumite
training techniques. From the time of brown belt,
our instructors are given experience in conducting warm ups, drills and working
with other students. By the time they reach dan rank (black belt), our instructors
have CPR/First Aid and National Coaching Certification training.
