Curriculum
The martial arts curriculum of Nanzan Dojo Australia is based on the Ninpo Taijutsu and Jujutsu curriculum set by Soke, Tanemura Sensei. The curriculum also involves Goshinjutsu (self-defense) and the use of traditional Japanese weapons. For rank testing each member will have to demonstrate a satisfactory level of proficiency in all three sections. Accordingly, a member who passes the test will be awarded separate diplomas testifying to his rank. All diplomas provided by Nanzan Dojo are issued by Soke, Tanemura Sensei in Japan.
Attendance
In order to grade, each student must attend the minimum number of classes to be considered for testing. The Nanzan Dojo, Dojo-Cho will inform students when they are ready to perform the test. Continuity in training will provide each student with the appropriate level of confidence, skill, knowledge and attitudes required to become competent in Ninpo Taijutsu, Jujutsu and traditional Japanese weapon techniques.
Personal Protective Equipment
Students are responsible for the provision of their own personal protective equipment. The equipment is required by the end of their first month of training and is available at most martial arts stores. The essential personal protective equipment is as follows:
