Musashi is affi liated with the Dutch ShinKyokushin Organization (NSKO), which in turn is affi liated with the World Kyokushin Organization. The Dojo also has a few karatekas who are members of the Dutch National team, or were previously members, and some who compete in Dutch, European, and World Championships.

STRONGER TOGETHERThe karate club was having issues with their punching bags splitting open after the many blows it took from their members. The zipper would pop off of the bag followed by the teeth and the bag would open up with the insides spilling out. To fi x this, Euro Manchetten came up with a new design for the bags. Instead of zippers, we use a stitching and welding tech-nique to seal the bag closed. Polyester fi ber woven together with a PVC coating provides extra strength. Every punch or kick would push the air out of the bag, or distort the zipper. Euro Manchetten technologies will create more durable equipment for the dojo to use, and limit the waste that must be thrown away.
