Nepal Army Rangers perform the central and vital role in teaching Nippon Kan Aikido within the entire Nepali Army. Approximately 60~80 instructor candidates train at AHAN Nippon Kan Training Center (ANTC). Over 7,500 Army soldiers are trained by experienced instructors every year.

Elite Nepal Army Rangers with the Gurkhas lineage and traditions are not only tough and strong as elite soldiers, but deeply active in various non-governmental, humanitarian activities as the “People’s Army.”

The following is a training exercise by UN Peace Keeping Force to take control of a chaotic situation with Nippon Kan Aikido techniques.

Below is a short demonstration to deal with domestic violence using Aikido techniques.
