The Jinseikai karate association runs its
own merit badge award scheme which can be started at
any time of the year.
There are three awards in the scheme which are bronze,
silver and gold. Each award takes three months or
more to complete.
During the period students must show continuous improvement
in three areas; by helping at home, improving grades
at school and training enthusiastically at the club.
The Gold level award must be achieved before students
are allowed to grade for black belt.
How to start a Merit Award
Please ask the club secretary for a merit badge application
form.
The form must be signed by
the student's parent, school teacher and karate instructor
at
the start
of each time period and once more upon completion.
