What makes Chiseikan unique?
Learn many martial arts
Nenshin Ryu Budo is built upon a foundation of Aikido and integrates techniques and forms from karate, judo, jujustu and iaido. From these integrated practices, we will help you discover new ways to smoothly handle the challenges of daily life.
Classes limited to 10 people
Because each class is limited to 10 students we provide careful and personalized guidance to each student. Each student can deeply understand their own strengths and challenges, and will receive personalized practice advice through a dedicated smartphone app.
Lifetime Enjoyment
There are no competitive tournaments in Aikido, so you never have to worry about winning or losing . Instead, the purpose of our practices is to improve your own capabilities, so you can enjoy learning at your own pace. Also, since we adjust techniques according to the opponent, it is possible for different body types, genders and ages to practice together. Because of this, you can continue your practice throughout your entire lifetime.
Naturally acquire
language and culture skills
You can naturally acquire Japanese (and English) communication skills and intercultural understanding as we practice in both English and Japanese and our classes enable you to practice with people across a wide range of ages (from elementary school to adults) and nationalities.

For many people, the martial arts have a scary, old-fashioned and strict image, but at Chiseikan, you can enjoy learning martial arts with friends from different occupations, ages, genders, and nationalities under the guidance of supportive teachers. Within this international environment in the heart of Kyoto, we've confident that your view of Japan and the world will continue to expand and grow.
