SHINKEN DOJO - BUDO & SUIZEN SHAKUHACHI
Welcome to our study community.
Enrollment open for 2023 study cycles, we are welcoming new applications for formal training under our Gateless School System (Mumon Ryu) with our successful shakuhachi master course and teacher training course, as well as private face to face coaching or video conference shakuhachi lessons.
If you want to start your shakuhachi study properly or acquire a responsible shakuhachi for your professional practice, this is the right place for you.
You may become a part of us in two ways:
1. Joining one of our study membership plans if you already own a properly tuned 1.8 shakuhachi.
2. By taking a study pack that includes a flute, if you don't own a shakuhachi yet.
If you are interested in purchasing just a flute then visit our professional shakuhachi flute online store here.
If you would like to explore other study programs to enhance your holistic education, such as martial arts (Bujutsu), mental re-engineering, drawing, guitar or singing study, learn more about our programs here.

A su vez, poder estar bajo su batuta en un proceso propio e individual de interiorización, apoyo y enseñanza-aprendizaje de la interpretación del Shakuhachi, por medio de la realización de contenidos específicos para mi discapacidad y todo esto desarrollado en un entorno afable, esto es de gran relevancia. Sumando a todo lo anterior, se resaltan sus trabajos de luthería en cada uno de los Shakuhachi (...) " - R. Moreno / Colombia
