About us
Kampai Budokai unites budoka from various martial arts clubs located in Ternat (Belgium). It was founded one morning after numerous rounds of beer, for a rather unclear purpose. This website attempts to reflect that philosophy of the Kampai Budokai.
The characters for 'Kampai' literally mean 'dry' (kawaku) and 'drinking cup' (sakazuki). If you don't empty your cup first, you won't get a refill here!
