Courses

Course Duration JLPT Intake
Bekka Martial Arts Specialized Course Capacity: 20 students

This program covers three fields: martial arts, Japanese culture, and Japanese language. Martial arts training combines practical training and classroom instruction, and students can gain further practical experience after school through club activities. Learning about Japanese culture in both the martial arts and Japanese-language classes helps deepen students' understanding of martial arts and supports their life in Japan.
