Menkyo (Licensed) Instructors:

Licensed Instructors are instructors who have complete the three level programs and have been granted one of the five Menkyo (23 courses) under Sensei K.D. Lintott, Shihan. The Sensei is first required to take the course from Shihan Lintott, after which they will write an instructor’s test. Upon successful completion of these tasks the Sensei will be required to provide written documentation where required and teach the program to a group of students (martial arts or public). The teaching portion of the process is to be demonstrated with submitted documentation to Shihan Lintott.

After completion of various levels the Sempai or Sensei may be granted one of the five Goshinkan-Ryu Menkyo. Only licensed instructor's are able to test and teach all students the various belt levels of the Goshinkan system. The licensed Sensei must re-certify yearly to maintain their license. Black Belt tests will only be conducted once yearly and unless otherwise announced they will be conducted by Shihan Lintott. Where available a Goshinkan Black Belt panel may conduct the black belt test.

There are very specific requirements to be awarded with one of the Menkyo in Goshinkan-Ryu JuJitsu. The requirements to even be considered for such an achievement are very stringent and take many many years to achieve.

Shoden Menkyo - The Beginning Transmission License

Chuden Menkyo - Instructor Mid Level License

Joden Menkyo - Upper Level Instructor License

Okuden Menkyo - Secret Level and Master Instructor License

Menkyo Kaiden - License Of Total Transmission
