The object is to learn the art of a style and build upon it. Schedules will vary upon the dojo. Competition can be fierce. Leaders are assigned or given by the Taichou.

Basic rules among the dojo will vary.

Hyoho Niten Ichi Ryu - It is the evolved form two sword style fighting. Niten Ichi ryu techniques are economical, without flashy or exaggerated movements. Targetting is precise, and the distance and timing is tight and without wasted movement. The bokuto used in Niten Ichi Ryu are thin and light, to allow proper one-handed control, and to prevent excessive tiring during extended practice holding the bokuto at shoulder level.

Bojutsu - It is a sister art to both Shinkendo. It involves the use of the 6-foot staff, which is sometimes shortened depending on practitioner height. Bojutsu enhances personal coordination and builds greater body motion and flexibility. Coordination drills are a large part of basic drills involving manual dexterity and body twisting. Low stances are a big part of bo work and deep knee bending elevate the impact level of this art slightly. A unique part of Bojutsu is the emphasis on creativity and "fun". Much of the staff spinning or "twirling" drills are much more light hearted than Shinkendo, where you mush treat your sword like a live blade at all times.

Buko-Ryu - Centers around the use of the naginata and most specifically the Kagitsuki Naginata (with a cross-piece at the base of the blade). Opposing weapons are spear, sword, kusarigama, and there is auxiliary practice with bo, nagamaki and kusarigama in their own right. The ryu specializes in ma-ai - one always tries to be at the perfect cutting range while having one's enemy at a poor cutting range with their weapon. It is very aggressive very upright, almost noble postures, arrogant, slashing attacks, very big movements to cut through man, weapon and armor if necessary

Iaido - It is the art of drawing and attacking with a sword. Iaido is mostly performed solo as a series of kata, executing varied techniques against single or multiple imaginary opponents. Each kata begins and ends with the sword sheathed. In addition to sword technique, it requires imagination and concentration in order to maintain the feeling of a real fight and to keep the kata fresh. In order to properly perform the kata, iaidoka also teaches posture and movement, grip and swinging.

Bujinkan (Warrior Spirit Training Hall) A collection of nine martial arts families. It is not so much a dojo as it is a training hall that works in unison with the other dojos. Two styles exist requiring armed and unarmed. Taught in the use of a variety of assorted weapons from shurikans, to bokkens, to tantos to wakizashis. Implements of several styles are incorporated, its purpose entirely on the exercise of applying one’s strength and power with as little reitsu as possible but rather the ‘warrior’s spirit.’

Taichou's Style - Is a style all to his own, He uses logic to fight along with his Hakuda skills, Champloo.

Arena – Standing in the center of the entire complex and surrounded by all existing dojos. Here, legal sparring is allowed and active at all times. Matches may be made and challenges accepted. Walls stand 15 feet up, chemically enhanced and designed, thanks to the 13th division department, to withstand the bankai of the 11th division Taichou. An enforced spirit pressure field is stabilized but it is not guaranteed. The audience and spectators should use caution upon viewing.

Indoor Training areas – There are several smaller indoor training rooms, designed as workout facilities, meditation centers, and reitsu controlled pressurized heat rooms adjusted accordingly. They are all cushioned with light blue padding. One of the more centered facilities works in joint as a sparring ring used for a specifically limited amount of weapons. Zanpakutous are left at the shelves in every room as it is concentrated strictly for skill, technique and meditation.
