Instructor Cadre

​We have an Instructor Cadre with significant experience in their respective Budo arts who have had their technical knowledge recognised through official grades awarded by the relevant Australian or International governing bodies.

​

They have studied both in Australia and  in Japan with senior teachers, and many have broadened their experience through the study of multiple arts in order to deepen their understanding of Budo.
