This article about a martial arts style/organization has no independent sources and my search found no reliable independent sources to support any claims of notability. It may well be there are some in Japanese, but that is beyond my current skills. Jakejr (talk) 04:26, 30 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete – I looked carefully at the Japanese sources I found. They show mostly unsubstantial coverage. I was hoping to find something to fit WP:CLUB (national and international activities, check; information can be verified by multiple, third-party, independent, reliable sources, fail). It's mentioned a lot. It definitely exists and has many students, but it doesn't seem to have its own in-depth coverage in reliable sources. JFHJr (㊟) 04:54, 30 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
