Frequently Asked Questions
Q: I have no experience with katana martial arts. May I still join?
This is an experience of participating in a regular dojo lesson, and while we will provide maximum support, we will not be able to provide English instruction in every detail. If you have no experience at all, there may be a lot to observe.
Q: Will anyone be explaining in English?
Yushinkan International, who runs the YouTube channel “Let’s ask Shogo (1.7M subs)”?
That is YAMAGUCHI Shogo. He is a former dojo member. Currently, other English speakers who belong to the dojo will assist you. However, since the other students are here to train themselves, not all of them can translate everything. Basically, you should watch and learn.
Q: How do I join?
Please let us know the dates you would like to attend through the contact page of this website. We will get back to you to see if we can make a reservation for you. Please pay the lesson fee on the day of the lesson by cash or card on-site.
Q: Can I become a full-time (regular) student of this dojo?
If you are a long-term resident of Kyoto, you can indeed become a regular student! Please contact us for more information concerning online-lessons and the fee structure. Approximately, 10 foreign nationals are already practicing as regular students at our dojo. Please feel free to join us anytime.
