Shotokan Instructor Profiles Project

Have you ever considered going to a seminar but weren't sure it would be worth the price? 

Can you judge teaching quality by the number of trophies on the wall in a dojo? 

Visiting a new area and contemplating training, but you don't know where the best place to train might be? 

JKASV chief instructor Jon Keeling has been compiling and maintaining a database of profiles for Shotokan instructors around the world.  The idea is to provide more descriptive evaluations of instructors by students, so people have other information besides tournament success, dan rank and political position as indicators of instruction quality.

Here's how it works...

To receive a profile of any Shotokan instructor, you'll first be asked to contribute comments on other instructors you have experience with. (At least as many instructors as you're requesting profiles on yourself)

The profile(s) you receive will include all the comments currently contributed on that instructor -- but the identities of the contributors are not provided.

If you would like a profile/comment listing of any Shotokan instructor, please contact Jon Keeling.  

Please contribute comments on any instructor of Shotokan.  Contributions must be by someone other than the actual person being commented upon and should be as complete as possible.  Comment submissions may be as long as you wish.  Submissions may be edited for clarity and brevity.
