Which includes the study of western Anatomy, pathology, ergonomics, nutrition, the mind and emotions, integrated body skills of a natural martial artist, environmental adaptability and the nature of ourselves and our environment.

DEVELOPING FURTHER AND CONTINUING AMATSU JAPANESE INTEGRATED MEDICINE IN TO THE FUTURE.....
​​
It is vital that teachers of Amatsu Japanese Integrated Medicine receive the highest level of skills and abilities therefore we have a post graduate programme.
​
​
ASSISTANT INSTRUCTOR PROGRAMME - 'MENKYO'
​
We formatted this programme so that there will be future teachers of Japanese Integrated Medicine to pass on this knowledge and skill to future generations.
​
Sadly some people who do not hold sufficient qualifications and clinical experience have professed to teach ‘Amatsu’ resulting in poorly qualified and not proficient practitioners! We recommend that students should only learn from fully qualified teachers, certified in all aspects of Amatsu Japanese Integrated Medicine.
​
The assistant teachers programme is open to qualified practitioners who have successfully completed and gained qualification in:
- Amatsu Japanese Integrated Physical Medicine
- Amatsu Acupuncture and Tonics
- Advanced Cranial Visceral Treatment
.... along with a minimum of three years in clinical practice, receiving/treating at least 12 people per week.
​
Tuition is by directed home study, joining in with both the practical and webinar seminars and helping students to feel and learn Amatsu Japanese Integrated Physical Medicine and direct communication with Dennis and Chris.
​​
​
TEACHER OF AMATSU JAPANESE INTEGRATED MEDICINE - 'KAIDEN'
​
Entry: Qualification in all of the above plus a minimum of nine years of clinical experience.
​
This development rather than a course is a feeling the same as Dennis and Chris share...
​
What it requires is a deep 'shinden heart feeling' and clinical experience along with the integration and help in teaching Amatsu Japanese Integrated Physical Medicine, Amatsu Acupuncture and Advanced Cranial Visceral Treatment to a very high level!
