Founded in 1979, the club teaches traditional Japanese budo: karate, kobudo, iaido and mugenryu heiho. Its Kokusai Shorinjiryu karate includes strikes, kicks, locks, throws and weapon techniques. Head instructor Soshi Matsuoi Yuji holds eighth dan hanshi.
Training takes place in the club's own dojo. Beginner karate courses for children and adults run in autumn and spring. Kobudo, iaido and youth camps are also organised.
