ABOUT
The background of launching this service
This service was established through the strong determination of AYATO KAI and the Shoto Meibukai.
AYATO KAI's Thoughts:
Throughout my journey, I have had the opportunity to meet many teachers, and their guidance has allowed me to grow into the person I am today.
However, when I started competing in international tournaments and began communicating with foreign athletes, I heard a lot of them say, "I don't have a teacher to learn from." They conducted their own research, trained themselves, and put in daily efforts.
Among them, the ambitious attitude of those who continued to grow with each competition left a deep impression on me.
The techniques that are taken for granted by Japanese practitioners are not necessarily common for them.
Language and culture are different, but I wanted to practice karate
alongside athletes from around the world who strive every day to improve and grow.
Introduction to Shoto Meibukai
Shoto Meibukai is a karate dojo that was established in Hokkaido, Japan in 1993. Currently, we have 24 dojos and provide training and lessons in 23 kindergartens and nursery schools across the
country, with approximately 2,000 students enrolled each month.
In Japan, we have a large number of top-level practitioners who are dedicated to the practice of karate.
Moreover, in recent years, we have been producing athletes who are actively competing on the world stage.
In 2022, we achieved victory in the Junior Cadet Girls Individual Kata and the Asian Games Women's Individual Kata.
Within Japan, numerous champions are being born through our organization.
