Dekiru™ Warrior Tools - Kihon certifications

 

 

Dekiru Kihon weapon training covers the basic use of fundamental

warrior tools.  Kihon level training builds basic proficiency and provides

a foundation for higher level study.

                          

Testing Requirements

Testing for weapon certifications is precise.  To achieve a certification,

 students must meet the following criteria.

o       Accumulate class hours required for the certification of interest

o       Arrange to test with the instructor

o       Display memory of which techniques are required

o       Demonstrate proficiency of each technique 

 

To ensure proper focus, a minimum of 6-9 months is required between successful tests. 

 

Test fees are $30 for each certification.  Students who do not pass a certification exam

may attempt again in 6 months (during a regular class testing cycle) at no additional charge.  

 

Techniques for these certifications will be covered in the tools class and during specialized

workshops built around specific certifications. 

 

Each listing shown is a specific certification.  Certification opportunities occur quarterly.
