Become a part of the Tenkara Guide Network:
While we can vouch that every guide in the Tenkara Network is committed to tenkara and has a great understanding of the method, we have also started a certification program for more in-depth endorsement of guides in the network. Certified Tenkara Guides have been certified in person and have shown a great understanding and commitment to tenkara’s history and philosophy as well as techniques and skills used in tenkara. However, this is a very small part of our program, since each certification is conducted in person we are not able to certify every guide in the network. We are working on ways to make that happen in the future.
