The Yawara list is generally taught as the first list of techniques in the curriculum, given its overall usefulness for self-defense and training. The first seven techniques, consisting of escapes from simple grips are the first things taught to
a prospective student. While learning them, the individual's character can be observed and assessed, and the teacher can decide whether or not to accept them as a student before teaching more advanced techniques. Yawara instruction is usually integrated with instruction in breakfalls (sutemi/ukemi), and (once the student can fall safely) with the first techniques of the Nage Te list. Following this comes the rest of Nage Te, Shime Te, Goshin jitsu (Jokyu Yawara) and Oku-no-Te, by the time a student is roughly brown belt. The Kiai no Maki Techniques are generally taught as the student approaches the black belt level, in addition to some or all of Shinin-no-Maki. Shin'yō-no-Maki and Shinjin-no-Maki are not introduced until after the black belt has been attained, in most schools.Seifukujutsu, Kappo, meditation techniques, Randori, massage, first aid, and nerve strikes may also be integrated into the curriculum at varying levels, depending on the instructor.
