Send the following information to KOKUSAI BUTOKUKAI office to email address: office@butokukai.info

• Traditional Karate and Kobudo background.
• Your philosophy of Budo, including the reason for applying the KOKUSAI BUTOKUKAI membership.

The KOKUSAI BUTOKUKAI will notify you after examining the materials sent in.

They are the legitimate representatives appointed by the authority of the KOKUSAI BUTOKUKAI as Hanshi or Kyoshi. 

A candidate must be recommended by a Dojo in good standing.

It is protocol and standard procedure, before membership selection, that the candidate must be a person of integrity and sincerity, a strong supporter of Traditional Martial Arts with a proven record of Martial Arts credentials.

As a general policy, verification of all of the above will be necessary before the approval of membership. Paper documentation may not be sufficient for consideration, and thus official interviewing by the appropriate representative may be required. 

Membership is a necessary step toward a certified membership of KOKUSAI BUTOKUKAI. .

Fee for the General Membership
The membership fee is 25 EUR per Dojo per year.
The Dojo will be listed on this site: KOKUSAI BUTOKUKAI Dojo.

In order to become a certified member of the KOKUSAI BUTOKUKAI, a formal examination process may be required by a designated official representative, Hanshi or Kyoshi.
