Particularities
Unlike most
saya. This is all the more needed nowadays since kaku obi are rarely worn outside of special occasions. Learning to draw correctly with a softer obi will in the end make all obi feel soft.[2]
Teaching
In most
okugi that are only transmitted from sōke to sōke). Tamiya-ryū Iaijutsu however is unusual in that the only authorized teacher is the sōke himself. This means that in order to learn a technique or kata, you have to learn it from Kuroda Tetsuzan directly. This is in order to preserve the kata's original forms as best as possible.[3] The same holds true for all ryū of which Kuroda-sensei is the sōke.[4]
There is only one actual dōjō, the Shinbukan Kuroda Dōjō (振武舘 黒田道場) in
Encinitas and Chicago) and one in France (Paris). The locations outside Japan are visited at least once a year.[5]
Kuroda sensei personally examines the candidacy of prospective students; enquiries should be made to the geographically closest practice group, excluding those in Japan.
