Satellite Karate Classes are led by qualified Shizendo instructors who teach the Shizendo system of karate. The Chief Instructor oversees the development and standards of both the instructors and their students to ensure a consistently high level of quality across all clubs.

Instructors running Satellite classes are required to attend regular training sessions with the Chief Instructor. This ongoing development helps them maintain strong technical standards, which in turn is reflected in the progress and performance of their students. Standards across all clubs are further monitored through monthly gradings conducted by a selected grading panel.

For Dan gradings, the Technical Committee is consulted to review and approve candidates. Once approved, a date is set for the student to undertake the grading examination. The Technical Committee is composed of highly experienced martial artists who ensure fairness, consistency, and the highest technical expectations.
