TEAMS

    The School of Shorindo Kempo Karate has two very special teams of individuals who have shown outstanding  performances.  These two teams have been broken down into an adult team and a children's team.  The adult Leadership Team is called the F.I.R.E. Team, the children's is called the S.T.O.R.M. Team.

    To be involved in either of these teams you must be at least a Yellow Belt, be nominated by one of the other Team Members,  and be approved by Sensi Rayburn. Each of these teams are the result of the best of the best within the school.  Consideration is given for skill as well as a shown desire to exceed.

The S.T.O.R.M. Team Purpose

    Team members are made up of children 17 years and younger being a Yellow Belt or higher.  This team is to provide the very best training of our students.  This requires a motivated and talented S.T.O.R.M. Team.  They should have the desire to teach and the pride in our school to go the extra mile to insure our reputation as the best!  Showing students our way requires very special qualities.  You should always try your very best to set a good example for the rest of the students.  

That is what the name of our team means:  Super Team Of Role Models. 

STORM Team Responsibilities

    2)  Storm Team Members cannot give punishment to fellow students.  This is the Master Instructor and Black Belts responsibility.

F.I.R.E. Team stands for Future Instructor Research Endeavor.
