What is Tenchijin Class? - Tenchijin Fundamentals of Martial Arts Principles
In this weekly detail-filled class, we will learn the secrets and practices of the Classical Tenchijin warrior scrolls/ charts.
We will be focusing on striking, footwork, kicking, joint locks, finishes, ukemi, throws and Buki Weapons Basics.
We will also be learning the Japanese terminology and where to place everything in our comprehensive self-defense system.
This weekly class is included in your basic tuition. It is designed for anyone who wishes to “round out” their regular class regimen and wishes to be more erudite in the ways of Budo.
This class is recommended for those who may one day desire to teach or open their own home or professional dojo?
This class is open for all students ages 12-100. It counts as a full class credit towards your next rank.
If you want to be one of the best, create the time to be there for this specialized weekly class taught by Sensei Norcross.
