Membership is open to any practitioner or individual who
desires to learn Ashihara Karate or be
affiliated with the A.K.I. Membership is also open to
any school (dojo) or individual who wish to teach
the Ashihara System in the United States.
For a dojo to be eligible, it is recommended that effort
be made to have a minimum of 60% of your
total membership joining the organisation.
Individuals may affiliate themselves with the A.K.I. as
an individual practitioner or with a member
school. They should submit a copy of their credentials
to the North American Headquarters. Students just beginning training need
not supply any credentials and if so desired may also be accepted by enrolling
on our Distance Learning Program.
Dojo Chief Instructors or Organisational Heads interested
in becoming a member of/or affiliated to
the growing A.K.I. family, should write to either to
the North American HQ or A.K.I. Honbu requesting an "AKI Info Pack". Please
include a brief resume and two ID Pictures with your request along with
a copy of your latest grade certificate.
The Info Pack is readily available on the A.K.I.
Website.
