Rank in An Maide Mear Eire

Here is the explanation of what the ranks are, how they were determined and what they mean. This is necessary as there always those who try and make things appear something they are not. To standardize a way of ranking these titles were then chosen. Remember at that time we were responsible for teaching this. and these old Gaelic terms were picked.

Maister Munteoir is for the main head teachers of the system who had to pass it on.

Munteoir is for those who we teach that want to go on and teach the system, who we can later advance to Master Teachers if they are chosen to hold that by us.

Maclienn is for our students.

Rank Requirements

  • The DVDs must be purchased in order, but you can purchase them 1 at a time or as a package.

  • If you are in a study group and learning from someone else you must have your own paid copy of the required materials. By doing this we can make sure that you are a learning the material directly from Pendekar Sanders with no alterations. The exception to this rule would be for families that live and train together. In that case one set of required material is fine.
