Bu-Bi-Shi-Do, Following The Spirit And Wisdom Of The Warrior


Official Bubishido Seal

Newsflash
It is easy to endure the unendurable, if you think, that it will last but one day. It is the same with pleasure: if you consider, that it too will last but one day, then you will not cling to it.

Zen Master Shojun Rojin (1642-1721)

 
Dan / Grade Ranking PDF Print E-mail

Membership and ranking within The International Budo Institute is independent of all other schools and styles. As a learning institute the internal ranking of Instructors and students is independent and follows the guidlines solely of The Institute. In this respect, students wishing to pass exams for Dan equivalence may do so within the structure of The Institute regardless of their dan ranking or status elsewhere.

Thus, a student may be 2nd Dan within his own style of Karate, Judo, Jujutsu or Aikido and endeavour to obtain a 3rd Dan ranking within the Institute. The 3rd Dan ranking in no way affects his/her ranking within their primary school and is separate of it.

As well, Instructors of The International Budo Institute are ranked based on their previous diverse martial arts experience across all martial art forms. Also, responsibility and roles within The Institute are taken into consideration for the awarding of any title or Dan rank. Thus, any member wishing to obtain a teaching certificate or position within the Institute will be judged on his/her overall martial arts knowledge from all their Budo studies not just within a single system or ryu (school).
