Tuition

Authentic Yukimura-ryû training by licensed instructors is being offered in Japan, Germany, and Switzerland. The teachings of the “caressing style of kinbaku” are based on a structured approach, a kyû-system complete with exams to certify the progress of each student. This system allows for an authentic transmission of the increasingly complicated and intricate techniques passed down by kinbaku grandmaster Yukimura Haruki (雪村春樹).
