Soto Deshi is a term that translates as outside apprentice.  This program was designed to allow students who have outside responsibilities such as Primary School, College and Careers to still participate in a more traditional methodology of learning.  Typically those who apply and are accepted into this program are individuals who have decided to, or are deciding on the martial arts as a way of life both financially and personally.
 
The Soto Deshi serves as the personal student of the instructor.  As such, specialized and additional training opportunities will be presented.
