JKA Bahrain Instructors One of the key strengths of the JKA is its method of teaching. All our instructors are JKA certified from Japan. Each instructor undergoes rigorous evaluation and testing before being granted his or her instructor qualifications. This unique specialist instruction system, established decades ago, is still the only one of its kind, and produces some of the best athletes and teachers in the world of karate. All JKA instructors—whether in Japan or heading up Regional or National branches around the world—pass on the fundamentals and techniques they have mastered, ensuring that karate’s highest tradition lives on in each dojo.  In addition to being certified as a JKA Instructor, JKA Bahrain Instructors are certified JKA examiners, and judges. JKA Bahrain instructors must also attend and pass re-certification programs on regular basis as per JKA Japan.  All JKA Bahrain instructors are volunteers who wish to train and maintain their JKA credentials and membership.      Name:            Ehab Eshehawi Position:         JKA Bahrain Chairman, and Chief Instructor appointed by JKA Japan Head Quarters in 2006 Qualifications: JKA Certified Instructor, Examiner, and Judge                       JKA Recognized Black Belt Examiner (Special DAN Rights Holder) Experience:    Over 25 Years JKA Bahrain was established in the fall of 2006 by Ehab Sensei, the Chief Instructor for the past few years.  JKA Bahrain offers quality instructions for people of all ages with training specifically geared to each individual's potentional.  True karate-do is the trademark of our JKA organization.  Ehab Sensei has developed one of the most respected reputations across Bahrain and the Gulf as a tradional JKA karate instructor.  He embodies the philosophy and spirit of shotokan karate and stricktly maintains the quality of karate as taught in Japan.
