The Kokusai Karate Do Shin Kai Kan is a multi-style organization. Practitioners of other styles of martial arts are also invited to participate in Our Training Programs.
Dojo Head Instructors or Organizational Heads interested in becoming a member
or affiliated to the Budokan, are required to submit a set of completed
applications (dojo/organization registration & individual memberships) along
with appropriate fees. For Dojo/Organization Heads, please include a brief
resume with your applications along with a copy of your latest Yudansha
Certificate.
All Budokan memberships (for all divisions and
membership types) are on an Annual Basis (calendar year).
Each Dojo or
Affiliated Organization within the Budokan is required to be registered
with the Federation.
All Dojo or Affiliated Organization registrations
will be issued a Registration Certificate (Charter) from Budokan.
Each Budokan Dojo or Affiliated Organization must be supported by a State
or Regional Budokan representative. In this manner the Dojo or Affiliated
Organization is guaranteed to have a specific individual responsible for
supporting their program. New Members/Dojo/Organizations may request to become
the Budokan representative for their state if none exist. In this case, the
Regional representative will assume responsibility of assisting the new State
representative dojo/organization.
All members of a Budokan
Registered Karate / or Karate-Kobudo Dojo should be active individual members of
the Association.
In the case of those Dojos / Affiliated Organizations
only involved in the Budokan Kobudo Division, all individuals of the member
body training in Budokan Kobudo are expected to be active individual
members of the Budokan. Active Budokan Individual Membership will be
required for any such individual to receive rank certification in Kobudo from
The Budokan.
