The 1st Introductory Instructors course in 5 years!

Iain Abernethy Introductory Instructors Course

It’s been five years since the last one, but it is now possible to book your place on the Iain Abernethy Introductory Instructors Course!

As a result of continual requests for training sessions for instructors who wish to integrate Iain’s methods into their own teaching the first Introductory Instructors Course took place in 2006. Courses were also held in 2007 and 2009. This is therefore a rare opportunity for those who want to gain instructor recognition with Iain.

The course will cover kata application, training drills, power generation, karate grappling, close-range striking, limb-control, kata-based sparring, karate in self-protection, etc. The emphasis will be on integrating all aspects of Iain’s approach into your training and teaching.

The drivers behind the course are Iain’s desire to ensure that those who want to adopt his methods into their teaching get the required support, and to increase the list of instructors Iain can recommend to people wanting a pragmatic and holistic approach to karate and related arts. The course will be certificated and all those who successfully complete the course will receive an Introductory Instructors Certificate from Iain. Those who successfully complete the Introductory Level can also work to progress to Full Instructor if they wish.

The nature of the course means that numbers will be limited and therefore people are encouraged to book as quickly as possible. Only 18 places are available in total!

  • All participants must hold a dan grade.
  • All participants must be a certified instructor with their association / governing body.
