Courses range from less than $100
for the set of 8 DVDs alone,
to about $350, depending on the "package" (see information below on what is included in the Deluxe package). However, simply obtaining the training materials does not qualify one to be a Budoshin Jujitsu Black Belt! You must study the materials, practice the techniques, and prove that you have actually learned jujitsu, through regular periodic evaluation and testing. That is the function of the Budoshin Ju-Jitsu Yudanshakai (BJJY) Instructional Guidance Program. [Yudanshakai means "Black Belt Society".] The BJJY instructional guidance program allows students to be periodically evaluated for growth in the art up to the level of Brown Belt, as well as formal testing for Sankyu [brown belt] and upinto the Black Belt ranks. The BJJY uses a variety of methods to provide you with a top quality support program to help guide you through the learning process by blending the traditional standards and format of the art of Jujitsu with modern technology. The BJJY is the only organization to provide a modern,coordinated and comprehensive training system for the art of Budoshin Jujitsu. The BJJY Membership, at only $39.95 per year allows you full "personal" support throughperiodic individual video or on-site evaluation and testing at your own rate of growth.Evaluation methods may include DVD, CD or videotape of your performance. You will receive immediate evaluations of submitted videos by audio [internet e-mail attachment] or telephone; or audiotape or CD by U.S. mail.
Instructional materials (in the Deluxe Package) include:
- Black Belt Budoshin Ju-Jitsu: Eight instructional
DVDs, professionally produced by Panther Productions, which will carefully guide you
through all of the techniques required for each belt-rank promotion up through

DVDs can get you up to Nidan [2nd degree black belt].
