All our instructors at the Academy are blackbelt level, and have personally been trained by Bob Breen, in addition to their own martial arts experience. Most of our Academy instructors train and are graded under JKD/ Kali International, our teacher training programme.

The levels are Trainee, Apprentice one through to three then Associate one through three then Senior and then Full, with Apprentice being the lowest and Full instructor being the highest.

Any instructor who has not achieved the required amount of training each year will be removed from the list.
