Training
Our training philosophy
We build a solid foundation for further learning. We coach the new student in the basic principles of posture, movement, ukemi and acting as the uke and tori. We guide the students through the various aspects of the art, including unarmed techniques, weapon techniques, katas (training forms) and the schools.
As the students gain experience, the basic techniques are applied in new ways and later the forms are examined through free application and adaptation. In our training, we constantly return to the basic forms and approach them from different perspectives. Our ultimate goal is, through our training, to become better in budo.
New students
You can start training whenever you like. We periodically organize demonstrations of the art, which are good opportunities to get acquainted with our training. New students that are university students or faculty members can train for free for the first two months.
Students with different experience and skill levels usually train together and the difficulty is adjusted to suit the level of the students. No prior experience in the martial arts is required. The techniques and skills required to pass the first graduation are covered in approximately two months. We require that students be at least 15 years old. To start with, you can attend the training in gym attire such as sweat pants and a T-shirt. Later on, we recommend that students acquire a black training uniform (keikogi) and an appropriate belt (obi).
