The way to your own dojo

In principle anyone can learn Motoha Yoshin Ryu, but as in every genuine martial art it takes training and a certain perseverance to learn the principles and then internalise them.

For experienced martial arts teachers, combat sports or self-defence instructors who already run a school or are active in a club, we can support you in various ways to learn Motoha Yoshin Ryu and to offer it.

1. Introduce yourself – Get in touch via the contact form and introduce yourself.
2. Get to know each other – A joint training session to get acquainted and exchange ideas.
3. Training plan – If everything fits, we draw up a personal training plan: regular basic training sessions to measure progress and regular practice of the techniques with training partners.
4. Shodan – After passing the Shodan examination (1st dan) you may open an official training group, supported by a higher dan grade with many years of experience.
5. Nidan – As Nidan (2nd dan) you may run your own dojo, again with the support of a higher dan grade.
6. Sandan – As Sandan (3rd dan) you may run your own dojo and conduct student examinations.

In Motoha Yoshin Ryu, ranks are neither given away nor sold; they have to be earned.

If you are seriously interested in getting to know our martial art, we look forward to hearing from you.
