FOREWORD
Technical Excellence in
Martial Arts training is one of USJJF's top priorities. As Leaders in
the Martial Arts, it is our sacred responsibility to ensure that all
of our students receive the best possible "Mentoring" both
in technique and philosophy of the Martial Arts.
Martial Art Training is
the cornerstone of knowledge and the basis for credible self-defense
skill and the perfection of human character. Training in a
comprehensive taxonomy of Budo Skills is the "Key" by which
the USJJFs Members develop their Martial Art Proficiency and exercise
the collective capabilities required in self-defense or competition.
Martial Art Training builds Character Development and, when necessary,
prepares the Budoka to "Win" if or when confrontation (or
combat) cannot be avoided.
While Senior Yudansha
determine the direction and goals of training, it is the Dojo Sensei
(& Assistant Sensei) who ensure that every training activity or
class is well planned and rigorously conducted. These Rank
Requirements are designed to guide and assist the Sensei to accomplish
his or her goals in teaching Shihan-Ryu Budo.
The Shihan-Ryu Institute
has established the training doctrine & guidance. The Dojo Sensei
should apply these guidelines and assist the USJJF Leadership in the
further development & conduct of Shihan-Ryu Budo Training. These
Shihan-Ryu Rank Requirements provide the training & promotion
guidelines for Shihan-Ryu Sensei & students in the areas of
Martial Art history, traditions, techniques, strategy &
terminology. >From these Rank Requirements, the Shihan-Ryu
Institute will formulate and publish a comprehensive Training Manual
for each of the Shihan-Ryu Budo.
Our duty as USJJF Leaders
is to provide challenging and realistic Martial Arts Training for all
of our Members (in all Martial Arts). The Shihan-Ryu will do its part,
and I encourage all Shihan-Ryu Sensei to study, understand, and teach
the techniques, as well as the Budo Philosophy presented in this
manual and on the Shihan-Ryu Home Page. Sensei at every level must
redouble their commitment to
accurate & comprehensive Shihan-Ryu Budo Training.
Remembering, Technical
Excellence is a "Top Priority" in the USJJF Shihan-Ryu
Institute.
