Learning bujutsu online in Shinkan-ryū is the first of its kind. It is an in-depth and intensive study of kobujutsu swordsmanship. You are not learning in a vacuum all alone, or being put through a useless "course system". There is no frequent testing and their associated fees designed to nickel and dime you every other month. The study is serious, and the teacher's interest is in building solid basics to develop more complicated and in-depth techniques and concepts as the student progresses. It is similar to learning in a dōjō.  We have students in different countries who enjoy learning and make good progress through online study with us. Trying to learn the arts of the sword is not as hard as it seems, but it does require good dedication and discipline. Check here for general information on learning if you missed it. Online students and students physically in Japan are the same; when you join, you join the school. You are not a customer paying to learn how to use a sword. That is shallow, and not in the interest of Shinkan-ryū Kenpō.

There are many iaijutsu and kenjutsu forms you can learn and practice. Regardless of a partner, students are required to learn most of the forms in due time. It is certainly possible to learn swordsmanship online; all you need is the desire to learn and put in the training time. The complete school, however, is not transmitted online and some face to face training in the dōjō at some point is required.

Shinkan-ryū Kenpō does not sell or offer one off (or extended) courses, certificates, or single lessons, rather it is traditional learning as is typically done in most kobujutsu or koryū schools here in Japan.  It is an intensive one-to-one student and teacher relationship based on diligent and honest teaching and learning for any diligent and committed person. It is a traditional school of swordsmanship. Learning is linear and in stages, whether online or in our physical dōjō.

To learn online, you will need to meet some requirements first.
