Standards & Governance

Our Society Standards & Governance are about ensuring Karate is practiced in accordance with up-to-date policies and precedures pertaining to Health & Saftey, Karate Insurance, Instructor Assessment and Recommended Grading Guidelines.

We have put together a comprehensive list of standards that are used and recommended to all our members. This is in accordance with national and international Karate standards and is endorsed by our group associates.

Society standards is about ensuring that Dojo's have access to correct requirements and guidelines pertaining to Karate regardless of which style they practice.

All our members are given access to this information forum and can refer to this central standard when implementing policies within their Martial Arts establishments.

IIA
We Also recommend that all Dojo's carry out Independent Instructor Assessment. This IIA would be based on the following criteria:

• Successfully passed a Criminal Record Check
• Professional Indemnity Insurance.
• Society Coaching Accreditation (recommended).
• Coaching Adults and Children Guidelines.
• Lesson Planning Guidelines.
• First Aid for Martial Arts (recommended)
• Dan Grade, Degree or equivalent qualification obtained by known source.

The above assessment is the basis of the Karate Society Governance Standards, which is used by all of our affiliate/associate establishments. It is also a central point for Students/Parents/Guardians/Other seeking information about a particular Dojo in their area.
