History

Established in 2006.

Koei-​Kan Karate-​Do is a traditional system of martial art, originating in Japan. Master Eizo

Onishi founded it in 1952. His teacher, Master Kanken Toyama, suggested the name «Koei–

Kan» to Onishi. The basic translation of Koei-​Kan, happiness (ko), prosperity (ei), and hall or

house (kan), implies its underlying philosophy: «prosper with happiness toward the future.»

The ultimate purpose of Koei-​Kan, by means of combative training and discipline, is to

cultivate character. Koei-​Kan is devoted to developing the spirit, and encourages the

individual to find success and fulfillment.
