All age groups, sexes and ethnic groups are represented amongst the students of Tetsudo. The practice of freestyle in pairs gives everyone the opportunity to interact with everyone else, and a sense of interdependancy and trust builds up between all the members of the training group. There is always time for a friendly chat with fellow students, and your instructor, before and after the formal training starts.

There are annual social events on the calendar which enable students to enjoy each other's company outside the necessarily formal, and more disciplined training environment.
