NewYork Budokai

Curriculum

Several distinct schools of technique exist within the family of martial arts known as iaido. New York Budokai was founded on one of the older of these styles, Muso Shinden Ryu, and for several decades this style constituted our core curriculum. In recent years, our focus has shifted to a relatively newer style, Ryushin Shouchi-ryu, under the guidance of Souke Kunikazu Yahagi. In addition to Ryushin Shouchi-ryu, New York Budokai continues to offer special workshops on Muso Shinden Ryu and Shindo Muso Ryu Jodo.
