No here are some web sites for it in the States. https://www.aikidoinstitute.org/uchideshi_program.htm https://www.renoaikido.org/index-800.html https://www.aaa-aikido.com/UCHIDESHI_TRAINING.htm Of course there all for Aikido (sorry) but thats all I saw right off.

Think you'll find it happens a fair bit in Asia.. although there are often religious backgrounds as well...

 

Westerners tend to be to attached to their material possessions to appreciate the benefits of such a life.

In Aikido your called an Uchi Deshi A live-in student. A student who lives in a dojo and devotes him/herself both to training and to the maintenence of the dojo (and sometimes to personal service to the SENSEI of the dojo).

WHOA!

 

Hold a minute there!

 

What do you mean by 'personal service to the sensei"?

Ti, Kilo just means that the student must clean the sensei's house, cook for him/her, do chores, etc.

 

Someone has a dirty mind!

[nago]

In all of martial arts in japan/okinawa it is called uchi deshi. These people train everyday except Sunday usually. They live and breath karate. It is still very big in the kyokushinkai systems here in Japan. I know a couple in the Maki dojo system (offshoot of kyokulshin).

"Sensei's B*tch" springs to mind but I am only joking - No offence intended.

 

I so wish I could do this in some ways to be honest! You would learn SO much!
