This enables the practitioner of Seigi Bushido Ryu to avoid conflict by personal presence or mental technique, or meet the conflict by drawing upon an arsenal of elusive, passive and aggressive techniques. Man is a triune being in the image of God. Thus the Seigi Bushido Ryu student will receive training and develop proficiency in the spiritual, mental and physical aspects of being a total person. Seigi Bushido Ryu expects its students to be students of history. They will have a link to the past, with an eye on the future.
Adults usually progress two levels at a time.
Each ranking level requires increased and cumulative proficiency in spiritual, mental and physical areas. This leads to maturity in the martial arts and the black belt. A provisional or temporary black belt is issued to those reaching this level. After at least a year, the student is observed and again examined prior to issuing a full black belt. There are five earned levels of black belt and three positional black belt rankings.
