Only those who have been selected and have passed initiation are members of the council.

(03) All decisions are made by Soke. However, when involved with major decisions that involves change or participation with or from the Budo Ryu Kai, it is strongly recommended that Soke listen to the master's council to get a broader perspective.

(04) The Council is directly under Soke and can serve as official representatives of the Budo Ryu Kai for various training events and public service activities.

(05) When a new Soke is chosen, they can immediately assume the position to continue the mission and purpose of the Budo Ryu Kai. However, this transition is not complete until the previous Soke dies. The title after being chosen to be the next Soke will be "Dai Soke" until the previous Soke dies. After the death of Soke, the new Soke takes full position.

Hamon is decided in three levels (1st - 3rd Degree). Details are in the writings of the Council Member Densho.
