Individual Courses & Self Study

Chanbara and Combative weapons sparring can be easily incorporated into any school curriculum and/or martial arts style. Through our Chanbara courses, books, DVD’s and training manuals a strong foundation and approach are offered to either serious or recreational students plus teachers.  All martial arts schools or styles at one point will differ in their approach. It is up to you to find your niche.

When you have reached that decision and understanding of weaponry and sparring you will then be able to take the things that you have learned, studied and practiced and incorporate that education into creating your own individual program(s).

By putting your own personal touch into what you have learned through the media and training you will be able to create your own lesson plans. Incorporating chanbara into your school will enable you to add to your existing classes or create new classes just for chanbara enthusiasts.  Below is a general guide.

Part Time Programs offer schools and their students a very realistic approach to learn and practice. These programs generally run 10-20 minutes towards the end of the class. Children enjoy practicing chanbara; it frees their imagination, while naturally learning balance, coordination and timing.

Full Time Programs run longer – usually 45 minutes to 90 minutes. These are fun classes, which also provide a great workout, stress relief and retention tool. For the more experienced student, combative and traditional programs will open up a complete new world of martial arts and tantalize the brain and body.
