One big advantage that KDA offers is Kancho John Farrell, with his 55 plus years in the Martial Arts as well his wealth of experience in many disciplines (i.e. Karate, Jujitsu, Aikido, Kubudo, Judo). Another is the KDA Teaching Counsel, who are all talented Karateka and are willing to work with you...be it one-on-one or in a seminar, clinic, etc. Ferrell O-Sensei has been around the world and has learned so much from his many years within the Martial Arts community, the many great Sensei's he has been able to learn from and establish friendships with. Areas in which KDA can assist you includes, continuing education, training, and syllabus building or assistance. We all know that new and more advanced classes for your ever-advancing students is important. Retention for your Dojo is vital for you as well your students. KDA can assist you with dynamic customized seminars and clinics in Kumite (point, contact, or knockdown), Kata, Kihon's or Kubudo etc. You can join in on our yearly summer and or winter camp or we can come to yours. Either way knowledge and interesting, dynamic experience is in store for you and your students. If you happen to be in close location of one of our Instructors, weekly or monthly classes, seminars, or clinics can be scheduled, increasing everyone's knowledge and improving retention at your Dojo. We offer one-on-one Kata training, technique training, Kumite training, and etc. Assistance at your tournaments in judging/refereeing, running or organization for Knockdown type events etc, is another area where we can help. There is also the very strong possibility that you can offer us knowledge as well, and this is always welcome within KDA!!! An independent Martial Artist faces many struggles in today's competitive world. One concern (always in the back of your mind) is rank and advancement as you continue your training. Another is teaching and advancing your students. We keep Dan testing costs to $100.00 and hold them at our Camps (2X yearly). We also will hold them at (after) a seminar at your dojo. We will help you gain more knowledge and experiences within the Martial Arts, so you can take the knowledge and use it as You see fit in, Your Dojo !!!
