The T.K.A. did agree in 1981 that all instructors of clubs of Dan Grade status are to be allowed to grade to first KYU an unheard of practice at that time, this would mean the instructor would have incentive and means to build up his club membership and encourage him to put more effort into it for his own benefit.

The Dan grading fees shall remain with the Association.

Instructors working for the T.K.A. on courses etc shall be entitled to fixed payment of expenses   according to grade.
