Student4Life Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 (edited) I am a senior instructor at the Dojo I attend and am very focused on traditional Isshinryu. I run my classes as traditional as I can focusing on charts, kata, bunkai and oyo, good snapping technique, and learning the history of Isshinryu. I would like to join a organization and have my rank and dojo "when I open one" recognized. I have no problems proving my knowledge even if I have to drive. I was just wondering if I have any options. I know I don't "need" to be a part of an organization but it would give me piece of mind. Thanks all!

Dobbersky Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 I would go direct to Honbu in Japan/Okinawa and see if anyone there would recommend an Organisation you could become a member of.
