About Bunbukan Brussels
SINCE 1977
As part of Budo Club Berchem, we preserve and transmit traditional martial arts taught at the Bunbukan Honbu Dōjō, while also continuing the Shitō-ryū karate lineage passed down by Kenei Mabuni.
THE WAY
Technical depth and character development. Respect for tradition while fostering personal growth through the path of martial arts.
Years of Experience
Experienced Instructors
Authentic
Karate & Kobudō
In Okinawa, the hand that strikes and the hand that wields the bō were never taught apart. At Bunbukan, we honour that tradition: karate and kobudō as one discipline, one journey.
糸東流空手道
Shitō-Ryū Karate
Since 1979
Shitō-ryū is a traditional Okinawan karate style, known for the richness of its kata and the precision of its techniques. Rooted in both Shuri and Naha traditions, it offers a complete practice that combines technical rigor, fluid movement, and a deep understanding of martial principles.
琉球古武道
Ryūkyū Kobudō
Since 2001
Ryūkyū Kobudō is the traditional weapon art of Okinawa, practiced alongside karate. At Bunbukan, this discipline develops coordination, control, and body awareness through the study of classical weapon forms and their applications, in an authentic and traditional approach.
