Young people who study our art, the Hokushin Ittō-ryū Hyōhō, will greatly profit in their further lives from the discipline, respect and responsibility taught to them.
At first, they learn and study the shoden level (beginning of the transmission of the school) in which the basic teachings are transmitted.
The intensity and safety of the training were specially adapted to the needs of children and adolescents. They train either with Bokutō (wooden practice swords), Shinai (bamboo practice swords) or Iaitō / Habiki (blunt swords).
No sharp swords are used!
