Ashihara Uchi Deshi in Japan

[Dobbersky]

Sensei, Sempai, Kohai.

After reading the thread about Live-In Students in Japan for Kyokushin (All Styles accepted), I wanted to know the same Question. Are there Facilities in Japan for Ashihara Students (All Styles/Organisations) to train as Uchi Deshi for say a month/few months in Japan and what would the prices be????

Osu!!!!

When you are affiliated to the NIKO organization you can normally train in every dojo of your choice . With the permission or recommendation of your local branch-chief of course .
Honbu for example allows students from all over the world but training is only once a day ( in the evenings ) you only have to look for a place to stay during the period you want to train .
It is possible to do some weight training in their gym during the day .
Another example :
My Sensei trained for 2 weeks at Nishiyama dojo ( 2 sessions per day )
But of course that's in Tokio and that was rather expensive to stay .

If you need information on inexpensive places to stay in Tokyo....I probably have a few leads.

I have once read that Ashihara (Hideyuki) Kancho abolished the Uchi Deshi system when he was still alive as he saw there were disadvantages about the system.
