Kaijin Karate Club is one of the five branches managed by Wado-Ryu Funabashi as a non-profit making organisation, which is a long standing Karate club training in the traditional Wado-Ryu style of Karate over 70 years.  We are directly affiliated with Japan Karatedo Federation (“JKF”) and International Federation of Wado-Ryu Karate Do Organisation, allowing our students access into major official competitions held all over Japan.

Our style of Karate is Wado-Ryu which is one the four main styles that the World Karate Federation recognises.  In accordance with traditional based rules recognised by JKF, we practice soft contact free-sparring (“Kumite”) in an amicable atmosphere.

Karate for children is not only to enhance physical ability, it also provides many important benefits to learn mutual respect, discipline, self-control, concentration and goal setting.  We have a great group of children who range in skill from white belt to black belt.  Karate is a sport most children carry into adulthood and gives them a life-long club they can belong to and the chance to meet and make friends from all around the world - friendships that endure for life.  Children aged over 6 can join our regular training session.

We provide special class catering for pre-school kids, twice a month on Monday from 16:30-18:00 at Kaijin Public Hall.  Children practice kicking, punching, blocking, yelling, stretching, running and jumping during each interactive class.  Parents are more than welcome to practice with kids.  This is a great entry for kids before joining regular training session.
