* Branch Dojo are those Dojo in different locations in which the same person teaches. For example: an instructor has a main Dojo where he centers his activities. He, also, teaches in a University club at the University that is separate from his main Dojo; due to University policy. The University club would be a Branch Dojo. Or, he may teach in a number of community centers, Boy's Clubs, etc. These are not required. Only if the instructor wishes to have additional certificates to hang in his various Branch Dojo should he ask for them.
