Classes at The Mason Street Dojo are taught by the principal instructors Jonathan Davies Sensei 4th Dan and Sarah Williams Sensei 4th Dan. Other classes are taught by 2nd Dan black belts under the guidance of Jonathan and Sarah. Regular classes are open to all grades, including beginners.

All teachers are BAB-approved coaches, and have British Red Cross first aid certification.
