Nichigetsukai Foundation
Where committed athletes go to compete.
Nichigetsukai Foundation speaks directly to families chasing the competitive path: levels, tryouts, and what it takes to make the roster.
“Legitimate training opportunities in arts such as these is very rare outside Japan.”From nichigetsukai.org, their current siteAsk about tryouts
The competitive path
Every level has a clear next step up.
Developmental
Ages 6-9. Fundamentals and a genuine love of the sport first.
Competitive
Ages 10-14. Regular scrimmages, tournaments, and real coaching feedback.
Elite
By invitation. For athletes training toward a serious competitive path.
What tryouts actually ask for
Competitive programs lose good athletes to guesswork. Stating the time commitment, the gear, the eligibility window and the evaluation criteria before tryouts means the families who show up already know what they are signing up for.
