EXAMINATIONS
NOTE FROM WJKA H.Q.

Dan ranks awarded by anyone other than a registered WJKA Examiner cannot be called WJKA ranks and will also not be recognised.
Examiners that have not renewed their licences and have allowed their licences to lapse are therefore not authorized to award WJKA Dan ranks and any ranks awarded by these examiners will not be recognised by the WJKA.

EDUCATION
WJKA INTERNATIONAL INSTRUCTOR PROGRAM
For those WJKA members interested in acquiring respected, world accredited status as international instructors, examiners and tournament officials…….
The Instructor Program offers comprehensive training and experience to enable preparation for obtaining WJKA International Licenses. This program includes academic and practical requirements, with many Shotokan specialized instructor subjects including, history, kinesiology, body parts and physiology, psychology, karate techniques, kata, administration, kumite and strategy, self defense, and tournaments.
All subjects are presented from the perspective of an instructor interested in greater personal depth and how best to share Shotokan growth and development with students.
Upon graduation (as a licensed International Instructor and Official), an optional Examiner license can be obtained.
The first step for interested WJKA students is to download the application form, and have the filled out form(with sign up fee) submitted by their instructors to their Regional representatives listed on the web page for forwarding to International HQ. Instructor Trainees must be NIDAN or above. Upon acceptance, an Instructor Program Handbook will be sent to the new Trainee. Regional representatives are available to answer questions regarding the program at any time.
For information please contact WJKA H.Q.
