Statement from Zen-Shin-Budo-Kai

All Black Belts must be earned!

If you are willing to train hard & with commitment, you will go home as an Instructor!

Our mission is help those who have trained for years and wish to run his or her own club
but have received little or no help from their so called Masters.
Our role is not to hand out Instructor certificates to anyone, like sweets at a party.
This would make what we offer worthless and degrading to the Martial Arts community.

All of our Approved Instructors that now run their own clubs are living proof
that a training course with Z.S.B.K. has been value for money and money well spent.

Have a look our TESTIMONIAL page for their comments.
This one below is just one of them

thought I would write to you to let you know about major developments in my Tai Chi practice and teaching. I took the decision to go full time and become a professional martial arts instructor. Since then I’ve been slowly expanding and opening up new classes, I’d like you to know that the 24 Step style you taught me has now become really popular and I’m very grateful to you for the expert training you gave me. I’m now teaching three classes per week, and two classes at Age Concern day centres, which is really fulfilling.

We list all of our Instructors that have trained with

Z.S.B.K. on the ZSBK Registered Instructors link.
Any one of them can be contacted for verification of their comments and satisfaction
on their Pre-Course Information/ Training/ On-going Support and Guidance

100's can't all be wrong!

Just imagine

YOU
could become a

Professional, Fully Qualified Martial Arts Instructor

running your

OWN

Part/Full Time Martial Arts Academy in your area.

YOU

could be earning a living and providing

a valuable public service by this time next month.

Why stick in that boring, repetitive, mind numbing job one moment longer than you need to?

MAKE THAT DREAM COME TRUE

TAKE THAT STEP FROM

STUDENT

SENSEI / SIFU

NOW.

TAKE ACTION!

BE DECISIVE!
