You can get started if you are 4 years old or older and can go to the bathroom alone.
Parents are not allowed to come in and you have to go to the bathroom alone. Therefore, please start after you can go to the bathroom by yourself.
When you are just getting started, you will learn the joy of moving your body and develop your movement nerves by making various movements.

One of the characteristics of Tsukamoto Dojo is that it is essential for dojo students to be able to do everything on their own.
Tighten the obi yourself. After the lesson, fold the uniform yourself and put it in a bag. Make sure you have nothing left behind. You can grow by being able to do these things by yourself.
Even when fighting, you have do it alone. No one will help you. It is essential that you can do that by yourself on a daily basis.
At first, you might not be able do that alone. However, the elders of the dojo are required to take care of their juniors, so with the help of senior karate practitioners, you will gradually be able to do things alone.

Currently, only the trial experience at Hachioji Dojo is available for free before you start practising.
At Setagaya Dojo, the instructor may not be able to pay attention to all visitors, so trial experience is not avaiable. However, you could come to have a look around the dojo at any time.
We will have to adjust the class and time of participation, so please apply from the form on our website first.

Karate training begins and ends with a bow.
The contents of the lessons are “basic lessons”, “movement lessons”, “kata lessons”, and “kumite lessons”, but in addition to this, physical training and training using mitts are useful in improving karate skills.

Karate games include training tournament held by the dojo belonging to the Shinkyokushinkai and prefectural tournament, block tournament, all-Japan championship, and world tournament held by the Shinkyokushinkai.
There are many training competitions and thus there are many opportunities for you to participate every month. There are two types of matches, one is a kata match and the other is a kumite match (at times there may be only kata matches or only kumite matches).
First of all, please do the basic training and movement training at the dojo, perform the kumite at the training well, get the permission of the instructor, and aim to participate in the training competition.
Try to gain achievements in the training tournament and daily practice, then participate in various tournaments hosted by the Shinkyokushinkai, and finally aim to participate in the All Japan Championship.
