Leadership Program
Basic membership included

Aikido, knife defense, falling, rolling, sparring, and karate history

Ability to run classes with the sensei, or other instructors
This is a great new program developed by Sensei Richard Bennett that allows qualified students to learn how to be a karate teacher.
This also gives students leadership opportunities and extra responsibilities to the dojo.
This program also allows students the ability to try out other types of programs like weapons and Aikido that they might not be able to attend on a regular basis.
Students will also learn more detailed information and material about things that they already know.
Students can participate in a new leadership class that is geared toward students enrolled in the leadership program only.
