In the case of training uniform (Keiko
Gi) these are usually black or dark color,
complemented with the use of traditional
Hakama, which unlike other more com-
mercialized arts it is used from the be-
ginning as a classic symbol of Japanese
Budo, and not as a designation of rank.
The white color in uniforms is usually seen
in children under age determining the pu-
rity of his actions, although the Hakama
remains dark color. Only the Kaiso (foun-
der) can dress white completely (Keiko Gi
and Hakama).

The Practice and Training
of Daibukan Bugei Ryu Ha

The form of training is almost similar in
all the programs included in our Ryu Ha,
always with differences according to the
physical and psychological characteristics
of each particular person.

In the case of the programs of our system
the difference lies more in the way of work
and technical execution while the way of
training and warming up of the therapeu-
tic and weapon programs is elemental of
martial arts, always with its peculiar cha-
racteristics.

Every class has a common beginning,
starting with the classic greeting of our
school, meditation, and exercises of mo-
bilization of Ki energy. All this followed by
warming up of muscle groups and joints
and continued for exercises with a partner
(Sotai Dosa), each are distinguished ac-
cording to martial program and the style
techniques that are been learned.

Always each workout or class ends as it
began, with a traditional greeting as the
Japanese tradition says “Every martial art
begins and ends with courtesy”.
