HOW TO JOIN
When you ask to join our dojo, you are asking us to recommend you to Grandmaster Tanemura for membership in the Genbukan-KJJR organization. By accepting you into the Genbukan-KJJR organization, Grandmaster Tanemura is giving us permission to teach you the Genbukan-KJJR (Tanemura-Ha) bujutsu. This is an awesome responsibility and we take it very seriously. We are, in essence, making a long-term commitment to your physical, mental, and spiritual development. |
