Junior Instructor/Sparring Instructor
& Classroom/Sparring Assistants

Next Course

We will be running the next course for Classroom Assistants and Sparring Assistants from Sunday 12th January 2025 in Banbury, starting at 6.30pm.  ​

Classes will be held on Sunday evenings, immediately after the Advanced Class which all candidates are invited to attend.  If there are enough instructors available, we will begin the instructor training session whilst the normal advanced class is running. 

 

The class is only for half an hour, so ensure you arrive promptly, suited and booted and warmed up ready to go at the start if you are not training in the Advanced class.

 

Classes will be every two weeks initially. 

 

Sparring and Classroom Assistants will then split into different training regimes.

Junior Instructors must be:

  • At least 10 years old;

  • A Blue belt or above; and

  • Have achieved at least one grade A or above - preferably more; and

  • A Classroom Assistant and teach regularly; 

  • Attend an area training session in Redditch every six months.

You have to be invited to join the course.

Selection & Assessment Process

To be a Junior Instructor or Sparring Instructor, students have to be a Classroom Assistant or Sparring Assistant first.  Once we are happy that a student is ready to move up a level, they will be invited to join the Junior Instructor/Sparring Instructor training course.  

Trainees should note they should attend all the training sessions.  There is no capacity for us to catch up missed sessions.

Junior Instructors

Existing Junior Instructors/Classroom Assistants are welcome to attend any of the classes as a refresher.

Location

All the training sessions will be held at:

Spiceball Leisure Centre

Cherwell Drive

Banbury

OX16 2BW

Final Assessment

 

After completion of the course, candidates will be assessed by an external instructor, usually World Master Nikki Line.  Students will be required to demonstrate practical teaching and undergo an oral theory test.  Students must pass the assessment.
