Many karate instructors from the USA have seen their applications to conduct seminars in Trinidad and Tobago rejected because of non-qualification. In the past anyone could have made claim to high rank etc and was allowed in the country. However, according to a release from the TTFF, ‘Many of them were fakes.’
The Trinidad and Tobago Karate Federation (TTKF) has set the same standards for guest instructors as for local teachers. In addition to recognised Black Belt grades, all guest instructors must have graduated from a recognised coaching course like the American Sport Education Programme (ASEP), have a valid CPR/First Aid certification and pass a criminal background check.
TTKF top instructors like Darryl Williams, Anthony Parris, Michael Cromwell, Maureen Springer and Lex Springer have all met or surpassed the requirements.
They also are invited abroad to conduct workshops and seminars at home and abroad.
The TTKF has always been an advocate of Continuing Education regarding all martial arts. TTKF credentials are well recognised and they continue to be a guiding light for karate and other martial arts in the region.
