Inner Circle Membership includes everything inside the monthly membership plus an instructor training program, all live karate classes, private group access, all online rank testing including video feedback from sensei, a Dojo marketing program and automatic affiliation to our association. Our Inner Circle plan is especially aimed at serious karateka, whether you already have a karate Dojo, would like have your own karate Dojo, or simply want to fast track through the Shotokan Karate ranks. The Inner Circle has all live karate classes included, an instructor training program, a dojo marketing program, online testing included, a private group, video feedback when and if you test and much more. Many of our members already train at a Dojo and use our app as a resource and extra training to their existing karate practice, we have other members who are unable to attend a regular Dojo due to location or work and solely practice karate at home and take their karate rank tests online. Our step by step shotokan kata tutorials are especially popular with our members and we have big plans for the Kata Dojo moving forward, including advanced kata tutorials, kata bunkai tutorials, follow along classes, individual kata moves broken down and much more! Our members have also asked for an over 40's program which we are very excited about. We have many members that have come back to karate practice after several years away and many of these members have injuries which prevent long stances and high kicks. We understand karate should be for everyone and an area I believe is lacking in Shotokan karate, is karate for older people. We are hoping to fill this gap, so instead of stopping karate at a certain age, our members can continue and improve in the fascinating art of karate. Join our online karate community and I look forward to seeing you in the Dojo real soon. Oss.
