Dear boomshine,
You can contact the headquarters of Daidojuku for training information near your place.

i already gave that a shot. i got an email back thanking me for my intrest and asking me about my current martial arts carrer and vitals stats. i sent them the (so far limited) info back and never got a reply. i wasnt sure if i should keep bugging them for the info or not.

Since I know Daidojuku quite well (I still train regularly with the Portuguese branch chief, José A. Sousa), I'll tell you what happened:

They don't have any branch chief for the U.K. As a result, they asked you for your martial curriculum. If you had been good enough for them, they would have asked you to join the Daido-Juku as a branch chief.

You can, of course, do 2 things:

a) Wait until they start an official branch in the U.K.
b) Train hard in MMA and contact them a bit later to be instructor. You can also go to Japan and pass the shodan test there.

Good luck.

Osu!
