What To Expect

Karate was born in Okinawa — but here in Kagoshima, the Renshinkan school of karate was founded and celebrates its 70th anniversary this year. — Meet Your Sensei — Your instructor, Hirokazu Inada, is a national karate champion who won the All-Japan tournament in 6th grade — the first ever from his dojo branch in Kagoshima. This is not a tourist show. This is karate taught by a champion, in an authentic traditional dojo. — What to Expect (about 60 minutes) — 1. Welcome to the Dojo (5 min) Step into an authentic space where karate is lived, not performed. Learn the meaning of "rei" — the soul of karate. 2. Change into Karate Uniform / Dogi (5 min) Feel how different you stand the moment you tie the obi (belt). 3. Kihon — The Basics (15 min) Learn the foundational stances and strikes of Renshinkan karate. 4. Try a Simple Kata (15 min) Move like a samurai. Photos and video welcome. 5. The Main Event: Wooden Board Breaking (15 min) The unforgettable moment — we'll capture it on camera. 6. Certificate & Kagoshima Green Tea (5 min) Receive your personalized certificate and toast with traditional green tea or matcha.

    We travelled through Japan in March 2026 and booked Karate and calligraphy experience in Kagoshima. It was so far the best experiences with my 12yo son. We loved every minute of it, the hosts made us feel like home. If you are in Kagoshima you have to do this! Highly recommend!

    We had a very good time with Hirokazu. He explained every step sequence to us beginners in detail and practiced with us. Hirokazu was very motivated, patient and very personable. In the end, we were even able to break a wooden board with a foot kick. We can highly recommend Hirokazu.

  • Excellent karate experience

    Inada Sensei is a very welcoming host. His karate experience and skills are excellent. He has a programme designed for beginners which looked great. As a more experienced karateka, we were able to train on more advanced bits. We have become friends ever since and regularly correspond.
