The length of each term of our uchideshi students spends at Nippon Kan can vary depending on an uchideshi’s personal goals and other life commitments they might have such as school, work etc. While the length of an uchideshi stay may vary, while the uchideshi students are living at Nippon Kan they all practice an average of four hours per day and have daily dojos chores they are responsible for as part of their training.
