Seminar Information
We have recently
assembled several Training Seminars that we are able to provide
to interested groups or schools.
Our purpose in making these seminars available, is to spread the unique information that we are able to provide. Our purpose is NOT to "recruit" anyone to our system of training. These seminars are provided to enhance "whatever" system that you teach/train in. We feel that we can provide useful, accurate and functional training in each of the areas that we provide training for.
The various seminars that we offer, cover several subjects and levels. For any of our Tuite Technique/Application Courses, we have only one perquisite course (our “6 Basic Tuite Principles”).

Having
once attended this introductory course, the student will have a foundation that
can be used for both defensive application and for further research (with
tuite
as well as kyusho
and impact
applications).
We also offer courses in the practice of Shodo and the various studies related to it. The introductory course includes the initial instruction for using and caring for the brush, as well as instruction for performing all of the strokes necessary for producing any/all of the kanji.
Additional Calligraphy courses include classes to determine an attendee's "Name Seal Kanji"(for use with a "Seal-Stone"). We also teach a basic "Katakana" Translation Course (useful for learning how to correctly brush a student's name's for certificates).
Seminars are priced according to subject content and the instruction time (commonly 4, 6, 12hr.) of the seminar requested, Any of these classes could also be offered as a multi-day seminar format as well (if desired). Contact us for pricing on what course you'd be interested in hosting. Minimum course attendance level (student count) for all courses is 10 students. Course Instruction costs are predetermined for each subject (based upon attendee count, this allows the host to set the price of the course for attendee's).

Provided Instruction includes:
Basic tool choice, care & use,
familiarization with the various aspects/branches of the art,

of Japanese brush calligraphy (those “Styles” are
“Kaisho”(“Block-style”), “Gyosho”(“Semi-cursive),
“Sosho”(Fully-cursive) and “Tensho”(“Seal
Stone Characters”). That instruction will include character
determination {choice} and placement, for name translation and use
upon a personal/school seal (stone), and students are guided in the
use of the “Nelson Japanese-English Character Dictionary”.
Classes are flexible (for student

can proceed at their own rate. Group instruction is also available
(including those courses that are “subject specific”).
Individual (private) classes are
$20/2-Hr class.
If/when weekly classes (taught at the
Ryu Shin Kan/Ken Shu Kai Dojo) exceed 3 students, those classes are
provided at $15/2-Hr. Class. Current Students of that school attend
FREE of charge.
(Group Rates are determined by
attendance level and time allowed/subject being instructed),
Seminar Course rates can be
negotiated. Those negotiations are based upon whether supplies
(brushes, paper, ink, etc.) are provided by the instructor, or if the
group will be “self” supplied (the instructor can provide
information/locations for acquiring the required materials) , the
number of attendee's, and any distance/travel considerations/costs,
as well as the subject being taught.
Approximate/Suggested Time
requirements for “basic” instruction in the various subjects are
provided below (Individual class descriptions provided below):
Basic Introduction to Brush
Calligraphy (“Shodo”) = 2 Hr.
Instruction of the Strokes Utilized
in “Shodo” = 6*Hr.
“Name” Translation (to
Katakana, commonly for use on certificates) = 2 Hr.
Seal-Stone character Determination

= 2 Hr.
“Scroll” and “Certificate”
lay-out and creation = 2 Hr.
“Introduction
to utilizing Nelson's Kanji Dictionary"
= 1 Hr.
(*This
class can be done in 2-3Hr. Classes)
The provided Weekly
classes (taught at the Ryu Shin Kan/Ken Shu Kai Dojo) include
instruction for each of the “Seminar” courses (over the time of
the students enrollment within that class).
The technique/style of
brushed characters taught at the Flowing
Hand school, is that taught by the Nihon
Shuji (Japanese Calligraphy) Association.
The instructor of the provided classes received his training and
certification from that school (during his 24 years of study/practice
within that school) to provide the technique and manner of brushing
provided by them.
Basic
Introduction to Brush Calligraphy (2-hour
class time)
This
Class will introduce the student to the (“Basic”) Tool's utilized
in the practice of Japanese Calligraphy (“Shuji/Shodo”) and the
performance/creation of some of the brush strokes utilized in this
art. The class is intended to provide the student with (enough)
knowledge to determine if they would be interested in further
pursuing
that practice.
Instruction
of the Strokes Utilized in “Shodo”
(8-hour class
or 2-4 hour classes)
This
Course provides instruction in reproducing all of the strokes
utilized in the practice of “Shodo” (“Japanese Brush
Calligraphy”). This style of brush writing includes 27+ (different)
“strokes” that are utilized to brush the Chinese Characters
(Kanji). It is based upon the instructed style of “Nihon Shuji”
(the Japanese Calligraphy Association).
Western
“Name” Translation to Katakana
(commonly
for use on certificates/awards) (2-hour class time)
This
class will aid the attendee in the translation of their name into
“Katakana”. These “kana” are how the Japanese will
write/convert a “foreigner's” name (in)to a (written) manner that
a Japanese individual can read it. Though numerous commonly used
“kana-combinations” are recognized, the kana utilized are
determined by the individual (for the correct/desired “sound” of
their spoken name). This class will assist the student/instructor for
that translation (commonly utilized on “certificates”, “awards”,
etc.). The majority of (American/European) names can be written
several ways (depending upon the manor the individual would prefer
their name to be spoken aloud).
Seal-Stone
(Hankyo) character Determination
(for
conversion to “Tensho” for “Seal-Stones”) (2-hour class time)
This
course is intended to guide the student in the process required for
determining the proper kanji to utilize for the creation of a
seal-stone (either personal or group/dojo) in the “Tensho” style
of writing. (This course is more easily accomplished after the
student knows how they want their name written in Katakana).
“Scroll”
and “Certificate” lay-out and creation
(2-hour
class time)
“Scrolls”
are (typically) larger kanji (character) pieces brushed on (larger)
paper pieces and convey a concept or principle.
Certificates/awards are (commonly) smaller written pieces that bestow
(some) manor/level of achievement. These “examples” can be
provided by the Seminar Host, or by request (for the instructor to
provide).
This
class provides instruction in the basic “lay-out” of certificates
and/or a “scroll”. It can be tailored to provide specific or
general (subject) instruction. Instruction includes (general)
aesthetic considerations, including placement of (any) “seals”
utilized.
Introduction

Dictionary. This Text is the best (for Calligraphy) Reference
Standard that's readily available across the U.S. and is considered
