MEMBERSHIP
General Membership
Individuals who choose to become members may come from any martial background. Membership does not require abandoning or replacing one’s original school or technical system.
Members may train regularly at the Tokyo Gekiken Club while continuing their primary affiliation elsewhere. Some choose to study and follow the club’s instructional system more closely; others participate as committed practitioners who value regular exchange and the development of Gekiken.
Membership is granted on an annual basis and must be renewed each year to remain active. It represents ongoing participation in the club’s activities and support for its continued development, as well as a commitment to maintaining a serious, respectful, and technically grounded training environment.
Members:
Train regularly within the club’s activities.
Respect the training structure and etiquette of the dojo.
Contribute to the continuity and growth of Gekiken practice.
Receive discounted participation fees for club activities and events.
May be recognized on the official website, should they wish.
Instructor Recognition and Representation
Practitioners who wish to become officially recognized instructors of the Tokyo Gekiken Club, whether inside or outside Japan, must complete the established instructional pathway. This is a distinct path within the organization and differs from general membership.
Only those who successfully complete the structured training process and demonstrate sufficient technical competence and understanding of the curriculum may be recognized as instructors within the club’s framework.
Instructor recognition signifies qualification within the Tokyo Gekiken Club system and the ability to transmit its curriculum accurately, consistently, and with technical integrity. Recognized instructors are not independent entities; they operate as part of the Tokyo Gekiken Club structure and remain connected to its technical standards, policies, and ongoing guidance.
Upon recognition, an instructor may open and operate an affiliated club within their region, functioning as an official branch under the Tokyo Gekiken Club.
Additional organizational details and affiliation guidelines apply to instructor recognition and branch operation. These aspects are explained directly to candidates during the formal process.
