Wu HuanInstructor (Shidosha) / Menkyo
Systematically practicing Tenshinsho-den Katori Shinto-ryu since 2012, standing among the early dedicated practitioners promoting classical martial arts in China. Established the Renbukan dojo in 2017, maintaining over a decade of rigorous periodic training at the Shinbukan Headquarters in Narita, Japan, ultimately earning the high-level Menkyo (免許) license through formal headquarters examination.
Leveraging the academic and cultural environment at Fudan University to oversee dojo instruction and technical direction. Guided by a commitment to precision refinement over mass instruction, practice adheres firmly to the principle that "correct form yields innate functional utility"—focusing on authentic transmission, core body mechanics, and practical kinetic application.
