Is there a difference in quality (teaching, knowledge, techniques etc) between those in the UK who are self promoted and those who are not?
Interesting question!

I would say from what I have seen that the main difference in quality between various instructors correlates mainly with the length of time that they were a student, rather than being solely an instructor.

Those who continue to study and train regularly under other instructors are better than those who do not. IMHO (of course )

By this I mean actually getting on the mat and training, as opposed to wandering around the edges at seminars...
