2) You must keep your own skills up to (approximately) one level above that which you are teaching.

3) If you are running a dojo of two or more students, you must keep a class log containing member names, attendance, logged matches, and a class summary. One-on-one training can be logged in your own swordbook at your discretion.

4) You must notify the Head Kaiden of any new students.

5) Classes must be run no less than twice a month. Seminar styled classes must meet at least four times a year. True student or trainee sessions are at the Kaiden's discretion.

6) All Kaidens must teach at least one student per year (one session) to keep their kaiden status.

7) Kaiden must attend a Kaiden's class with the Head Kaiden once every two years.

8) A Kaiden should hold himself to a high standard of moral character, above and beyond that of their students. You are leaders of menl earn your students' respect.

9) Kaidens are responsible for the grounds they train on and everyone who enters it. Control your space!

10) Kaidens have the power to take on any student they wish and train them at their discretion. You may adjust the requirements within reason. If you change a requirement to make it easier, the Council must approve your changes first. You may always add WCoS related requirements or make some harder without approval, but this must be for all students and not only some.

11) Monthly reports must be submitted to the Head Kaiden. They can be a one sentence summary for each class you taught and should contain the date, names, and number of students. Example: "January 1, 2005 - 9 students attended. We went over the basic requirements and then sparred."
