Membership in
International Shinbudo Association is FREE! We charge no
annual fees, licensing fees or anything similar. All
enthusiasts ready to co-operate in ISA are warmly welcomed.
The International Shinbudo Association is a friendly group
of people (individuals, clubs, organizations) willing to
organize and/or participate on SPORT EVENTS under ISA rules.
There are two ways of "qualifying" for membership in ISA:
1.
Participate on ISA Festival or other annual international
ISA events.
2. Organize your national Shinbudo event under ISA rules,
which will cover Sport Kenjutsu and Sport Jujutsu
disciplines. This competition should gather at least 30
contestants from at least 3 towns/cities. You will be listed
as ISA member immediately after you provide photos and
videos from this event (via e-mail, on a CD/DVD or uploaded
on your web site, YouTube etc.).
Membership in ISA is taken from those national
representatives who fail to "refresh" their status over a
period longer than 2 years, by any of fore-mentioned three
ways of active participation.
IMPORTANT NOTE: ISA does not support self-proclaimed
"instructors", "masters" and those who have invented their
own "styles", or have received their grades/titles from
similar individuals or groups. No one under 30 years of age
cannot claim 5th Dan or any additional/equivalent rank or
title. No one under 50 years of age cannot be 8. DAN. No one
under 70 years of age cannot be 10th Dan. No one - even
hundred years old - cannot claim ANY grade or title without
proper verifiable training history and certificates. No one
cannot claim the title of "soke" in any non-koryu martial
art! All SENSEI, SHIHAN and HANSHI must have verified
grading history in respectable national or international
organizations. If you hold/claim rank, grade or title which
does not fit these standards (set by the most traditional
and legitimate Japanese based organizations such as Judo
Kodokan Institute, Zen Nipon Kendo Renmei, Zen Nihon Budo
Renmei, etc.) - please DO NOT CONTACT US! People who do not
respect fair rules of martial arts promotions will also be
unable to respect fair play and sport rules in general. ISA
does not need such competitiors, coaches or referees.
