Frequently Asked
01Can a complete beginner with no martial arts background join?+
Absolutely. Renbukan strictly rejects mass calisthenics-style group drills. Regardless of your experience, instruction is tailored to your unique structural mechanics, building fundamental stances and grips through dedicated, one-on-one guidance.
02What equipment and clothing are needed?+
For beginners, loose athletic clothing or a plain gi is sufficient. The dojo provides training bokken during initial sessions. As you progress, we will guide you in acquiring authentic weaponry and attire conforming to Shinbukan standards.
03How are credentials such as mokuroku and menkyo awarded?+
Renbukan does not issue credentials directly. We prepare and lead dedicated students to the Shinbukan Headquarters in Narita, Japan, for intensive training (gasshuku) and direct evaluation by Shiihan Nobutoshi Otake. Successful candidates receive authentic licensures issued straight from headquarters.
