This material is similar to qi gung, yoga, or what is sometimes called “internal power” training. Drawing influences from various teachers including Neil Yamamoto and Akuzawa Minouru (Aunkai), the majority of the material is based on Dan Harden’s Sangenkai system. While we are not affiliated in any way at this time with Dan Harden or the Sangenkai, his influence on us and our martial arts is undeniable and we will be forever grateful for what we learned in the 8 years of our relationship. The fundamental skills and principles of Budo Tanren form the foundation of Aikibudo and Shinto Ryu, which offer the opportunity to explore those principles in more practical ways.
