Ongoing training in Mugai Ryu requires dedication and discipline. We recommend that students interested in this style of Japanese swordsmanship discuss their interest with the teacher(s) at the dojo closest to them. It takes years of consistent practice to build the skills necessary to become proficient in Mugai Ryu, and it is not an easy journey. Students should have a basic understanding of Japanese martial etiquette, and approach training with a fresh spirit open to learning.
