Additionally, leadership opportunities are made available through our Junior Leadership Program. In this program, students who are 9 years old and up and at least a yellow belt (1 year of experience or more) and who show above average discipline and maturity are invited to help in the Grade School classes as assistants to the instructors, and as team leaders in their own classes.
Each Junior Leader is instructed by Sensei Damien personally in methods of positive leadership, guidance, and encouragement among their peers and younger fellow students. They are also afforded additional and exclusive opportunities for training, to more thoroughly know the class material.
Students in the Junior Leadership Program can be distinguished among their fellow students by the wearing of black pants with their red uniforms.
