Our Intro Class is mandatory for all new students. This Class will prepare you with the basic skills of handling a Japanese sword (how to hold, stand, cut and dojo etiquette), so you can attend regular classes without disrupting our full time students. Even if you’ve studied a different Ryu (style) of Iaido, you are still required to take this class – Ryushin Shouchi Ryu is very different compared to other systems.

Please fill out the form to sign up for a class. You will receive an automated confirmation.

    *This does not include kyudo and special seminars and online classes.

    **We pay $100 – $120 (depending on Yen exchange rate*) annual Ryushin Shouchi Ryu dues directly to the Honbu (main branch in Tokyo), this allows you to be “officially” ranked within this system and to be able to attend seminars when Yahagi Soke (the headmaster) comes to the US. This does not include seminar, testing or certificate fees. NOTE: We are a non-profit organization 501c(3). We do this because we are dedicated to the preservation and continuation of traditional Japanese martial arts. All money collected goes to pay for the location, equipment, notes, etc…

  • Easy, after you finish your promotion (limit 1-per student) you would begin paying dues on the 1st of the next month – $50

    Also if for any reason you need to miss classes (work/family), we suspend your membership for that time and when you return you simply continue your dues (you won’t owe us for the months missed unlike a gym membership).

    You can also join us as a REMOTE NYBA MEMBER through the NYBA PATREON PAGE
