To earn ranking in Five Animal Kenpo through our distant learning program is a balanced orchestration of taking advantage of the instructional DVD series, additional online resources available at our Five Animal Kenpo Website, interactive resources for distant learning (video review, private lessons via FaceTime), and actual in person visits for ranking tests and hands on correction and polish.
I WOULD NOT recommend anyone attempt to do this without some previous Kenpo foundation that was gained from a hands on, physically present instructor. This course is ideal for either the Five Animal Kenpo student who has moved away and wants to continue to progress in the style but cannot regularly attend classes or another Kenpo stylist looking to cross train and perhaps become ranked in Five Animal Kenpo as well.
If you cannot physically commit to "in person" instruction at least once per year then the "Ranked Student" Tier is not structured to meet your needs and you should look at the previous post regarding Tier One: Recreational exploration.
