LIVE IN TRAINING
Yoshinkan Aikido Ryu has a system whereby students can stay at the dojo and study aikido with Tsuneo Ando Shihan. Live-in students stay at ʻRyu Houseʼ and take part in the everyday life of the dojo, training alongside Ando Shihanʼs uchi deshi. In this way, students can truly experience the saying that aiki soku seikatsu (“aikido and life are one”).
Live-in training is for students who want to gain a greater understanding of the spirit of aikido and to improve their aikido technique.
