Earn at least four Weapon Skill points. At least two of these must be in the same weapon. (Candidate must be trained (one point) in unarmed before they raise to Ji'alantin.) See the Weapon skill information page for more information.
Roleplay at least once with your Mentor or another member of a higher rank. (Please see the Mentor FAQ for more information. If you do not have a Mentor, e-mail the Master of Training)
Complete one of the following:

  The Intro Class is recomended for first-time roleplayers. This class may not count as two requirements should completion of the class reward a benefit or weapon skill point
