in Friedberg / Hesse within the Steinkopf-Sporthalle.

The nine founding members unanimously agreed that this association should primarily provide a home for kobudo in the RYUKYU SHOTOKAN style within Europe. Additionally, the association is inclusive of other Japanese martial arts, which are equally nurtured within the association.

Our association embodies diversity and inclusion, offering a platform for the practice and exchange of various Japanese martial arts. Alongside karate and kobudo, we warmly welcome other traditional martial arts such as kenjutsu, aikido, kendo, iaido, and many more.

Our aim is to foster a supportive and inspiring environment for all martial arts enthusiasts, irrespective of age, gender, experience, or background. We believe in the values of discipline, respect, and self-improvement inherent in the practice of traditional Japanese martial arts.

Through our network of clubs, instructors, and students, we provide opportunities to enhance skills, acquire new techniques, and form friendships with like-minded individuals from across Europe.

Join our association and experience the fascination and values of traditional Japanese martial arts within a supportive and inclusive community. We look forward to accompanying you on your journey and growing together.

Martial arts unite us, and at RYUKYU BUJUTSU VERBAND Europa e. V., you'll find a home for your passion.
