Bare-Hand Budo Course

​

We engage in various forms of training to master one-on-one, hand-to-hand combat techniques.

​

Kenryu Budo Jiyu Kumite (free-sparring practice) incorporates concepts derived from Kendo. This training includes:

– Solo training: We focus on exercises that are rational, sustainable for long-term practice, and designed to activate the body’s energy. This training is based on the principles of Qigong and Tai Chi.

– Footwork for spatial movement: Training in this area aims to cultivate natural, orderly, and balanced movement that extends harmoniously with internal energy, enabling seamless spatial transitions.

– Kata training: By repeating and adapting kata (set forms), practitioners develop freedom and adaptability within structured movement.

Partner training:

– Tests the precision of movements and the power developed through solo practice.

– Improves the ability to observe oneself objectively.

 

By alternating between solo and partner work, practitioners aim to cultivate mental focus and an ideal state of awareness.
