The names listed below have been changed slightly or are an alias to protect the identity of the practitioners. They are not connected to any fictitious group or club. The regions are approximate locations where dojos are located. The start date/duration takes into account a student's total verifiable martial arts training. The Martial Art of the Western Circle was created in 1996 and was when the first school opened.

There are seven levels of training separated by steel and bokken disciplines. In total, a student has to pass 4 separate evaluations and 9 individual tests to complete all fourteen levels of training (L1 does not require an evaluation). Everyone listed below had to earn each level by years of training and proving their abilities through full contact sparring. In the WCoS, it is not what a person says they can do, it is what they can prove they can do through hard training and full contact sparring.
