Hyaku, forgive my ignorance but what is the shogo system?

mengu
..........
I spend most of my time at Batto Jutsu and Kenjutsu within a Ryu. It's Mokuryoku, Menkyo, Menkyo Kaiden, Shihan etc. Generaly the first two are attainable in ones lifetime. Only one person sees the others.

No Dani-I system as they existed before this was invented. Dan are usually awarded by an association. If a ryu belongs to an association you sometimes see Dan grades too but its silly to mix them. When they advertise seminars they lump them all together and its confusing.

The Nihon Kobudo Renmei is ryu only, no Dan. Although my Battoryu is a member of an association with rank there is none in my actual Ryu.

ZNKR does the opposite and has shogo added to rank which usually come with the grade. There was another thread on that if I remember

Regards Hyaku
