- What is an instructor course ?

The Courses for aspiring Instructors and Instructors are held on a monthly basis, always in a weekend. The attendance to these Courses helps learning the broad curriculum of our School and consequently opening a branch dojo and teaching in one’s own city.

- Who can attend these Courses?

These courses are dedicated to:
1. Experts of any martial art with a minimum verifiable degree of 2^nd dan.
2. Yudansha recognized by our Association, with a minimum degree of 1^st dan in Daito-ryu Aikibudo.

- How do they develop?

For those who come from another martial art, it is mandatory to attend at least 2 years encounters to open a dojo. In any case it is possible to begin teaching after attending the encounters at the end of the first year, in a “Study Group”.

- What is an Intensive Course? (For the next course participants can book yet 7 )

Our Association is present only in certain Countries. In the places where it is not yet active a dojo it is possible to open a “study group” by attending to an “Intensive Course”. The Association organizes specific intensive courses for those foreigners who’d like to learn the original aikijujutsu techniques (and also have very serious intentions of opening a branch dojo-study group once gone back in their own Country). It is mandatory to give us a martial curriculum for admittance. The Course is structured in 8-10 hours of training for seven consecutive days. Therefore it is needed a great willpower to learn and also an optimal phisical condition. During the typical day, in the morning are practiced the aikijujutsu techniques with a great focus on detail, while during the afternoon kenjutsu will be studied and practiced. During the evening are practiced variations and applications of the basic techniques studied throughout the day (oyo-waza). The purpose of the Course is to teach to the attendant a limited number of techniques, but as surely and deeply learnt as possible. Once back in his own Country, the participant will surely be able to train and teach the techniques studied during the Course.

- Who can attend these Courses?

1. Students, teachers and practitioners of any martial art with a minimum of experience. In any case, each one’s martial ability (and preparation) is different, and this will be taken into account. In any case titles and ranks in other martial arts can be useful for the acceptance (even though they will not be recognized in our School).
2. Instructors or practitioners officially recognized by our Association that desire to "accelerate” own technical preparation, so that to be able to direct a Study group.

Seminars

During the seminars is shown a lot of techniques of the various mokurokus and also a lot of variations of the same technique. Normally in the morning techniques of aikijustu are practised and in the afternoon techniques of kenjutsu. It is possible to ask for the direction of a seminar in his own city or country.
