"Uchi Deshi" – Resident student internship

Daniel TOUTAIN offers 'uchi deshi' training programs. Referring to his own experiences with the late Morihiro Saito Sensei in Japan, in the Founder's Dojo in Iwama, Daniel Toutain is able to offer resident students a unique experience. Every participant is given the opportunity of personalised tuition well beyond what is available at regular classes and seminars. The total immersion implicit in this approach, allows students to really extend their knowledge and significantly accelerate their progress.
This type of training also has the advantage that practitioners of all levels, some very advanced, work together. Students come from all over France, and from abroad, to perfect their skills. Uchi deshi seminars are studious and convivial, helping to create friendly ties among practitioners of the Iwama school of Aikido. The late Morihiro Saito Sensei, more than anything, wished to preserve the authenticity of Aikido techniques through rigorous training while encouraging friendly relationships.

An extensive Aikido library and collection of videos are also available for study.

Uchi deshi training is restricted to adults having, with few exceptions, at least six months of prior Aikido experience.

Uchi deshi lodge in rooms attached to the dojo, with a fully equiped kitchen and dining area that allows meals to be prepared and taken together. Sheets, pillows, and pillow cases are provided, but students must bring a sleeping bag.
