MANY HIGH RANKED REASONS FOR JKAA

One of the greatest benefits for members who join the Japan Karate Association of Australia, is to have access to the guidance, expertise and experience of our high ranked instructors.  Our Association has rules in place only allowing Instructors of the highest calibre to be instructing and administrating our Dojos.  We are very proud of this tradition and of these Instructors, who all make every effort to continue to improve themselves, under the expert guidance of our Chief Instructor, Takahashi Shihan.  The table below outlines many of our Instructors and their rankings for each State within JKAA.

Many of our instructors, and their assistant instructors, have provided us with a short profile on their history with JKAA and some words of wisdom relating to JKAA.  Click on the names to link to each individual profile.
