Please be advised that Sentou-ryu follows a strict grading system. Black Belt status up to and including 4th Dan (YonDan) may be achieved at any chartered Sentou-ryu Dojo with a certified Menkyo Shihan instructor. All Dan grades over and above YonDan are strictly honorary and are issued through Hombu only.

Instructors holding the license of Menkyo Shihan and above are trained and certified via Hombu only. Sentou-ryu Sogo Budo Rengokai does not recognize any Dan grade or any Menkyo License issued over YonDan by any affiliated Dojo.
