The Martial Arts Club is one of the clubs in Akademi.
Appearance[]
The Martial Arts Club room is located in the northern wing of the second floor. The room has dark green walls with a light green rim and tatami mats on the floor. In the middle of the room is a large grey-green mat, as well as two smaller mats at the front of the room. There are three lights on the ceiling. The walls are decorated with multiple scrolls of a snowy mountain. Wooden towers are located at the far left and right corners. A wooden doll is located at the far right corner. The windows at the back of the room are opaque, but the ones at the front are transparent. A changing room that Martial Arts Club members and the protagonist can use to change into their gi is located between the two smaller mats. Four potted bamboo plants are located on both sides of the room and on each side of the changing room.
Gameplay[]
While the protagonist is a member of this club, she will automatically win any struggle minigame against other students and teachers (but it is still possible to lose and get apprehended if she isn't holding a sharp, concealable weapon). She will also have access to martial arts gi.
The protagonist is also able to spar with the members of the Martial Arts Club, even if she isn't a part of the club. The purpose of the martial arts mini-game is to help the player practice fighting off the delinquents, and unlike with the delinquent mini-game, the protagonist won't be injured if she loses. Before the mini game starts, the player has the option to pick which member to spar against.
The protagonist will be kicked out if another member of the club witnessed her commit murder on the previous day. She will also be kicked out if she does not participate in club activities at least once a week. If the leader dies or if there are less than five members in the club, the club will disband. Once the club closes, the door to the room will be locked, but the protagonist can use a lockpick to open the door. She can also request permission to leave, but once she leaves, she can never join again.
Club Schedule[]
The members of this club will enter the room at 7:05, change into their gi, and practice. They will occasionally alter their practicing location between the clubroom and Zen Gardens.
They eat their lunch near the clubroom at 1:00 PM.
They continue practicing at 4:00 PM and until the end of the school day.

Trivia[]
- Jukuren shita shokunin (熟練した職人) is a Japanese phrase meaning "journeyman", which is a reference to someone who is learning something.[1] The phrase became the names for Juku Ren, Shi Ta (currently named Shima Shiya) and Sho Kunin.
- The words on the Martial Arts headband, 必勝, translate to "certain victory", or means "absolute victory", "definite victory", or "must win".
- If the player types in the word "Rainey", a girl with light brown hair in a braid will appear.
- If the player presses Spacebar in the debug menu, the day will skip to 4:55 PM and the player will be teleported to the Martial Arts Club with Budo Masuta if he is on campus.
- Raibaru Fumetsu was the leader of this club a year before the game plot takes place. Budo was once a pupil of Raibaru. One day, Budo challenged Raibaru to a spar. Budo won, ending Raibaru's undefeated win streak. Raibaru was not angry or disappointed, she was happy. She had wanted to leave the Martial Arts Club for a while, but she felt that she had an obligation to the club. While she was undefeated, she couldn't leave. After her loss, Raibaru left the club, and Budo became the new and current leader.
- Because the Martial Arts club respect Raibaru, they would react negatively when Ayano gossips about her.
- The Club is aware that The Bullies mistreat people, but they also know the school refuses to do anything without any concrete evidence and the bullies also do the mistreatment of others discreetly to avoid being caught. They would step in or discourage the bullying if they would personally it, however, they won't spend their time stalking the bullies and waiting for an opportunity to stop the mistreatment the girls do, as the main goal of this club is to develop self-defense skills rather than proactively stopping injustice.[2]

Welcome to the Martial Arts Club! What brings you here?
Come back if you'd ever like to spar with us!
We study hand-to-hand combat and practice self-defense techniques! If you join our club, I guarantee that you'll be able to defend yourself from anyone that might try to hurt you! If you think you've got what it takes, you're welcome to spar with any of our members at any time, even if you're not in the club!
Interested in joining the club? All we ask is that you show up at least once a week!
Fantastic! You are now an official member of the Martial Arts Club! I'm looking forward to teaching you everything I know!
Having second thoughts? I understand. Let me know if you change your mind.
Are you thinking of leaving the club?
That's a shame... I'm sorry to see you go. You're still welcome to spar with us any time you'd like.
Phew, that's a relief!
I'm sorry. I've discussed it with the rest of the club, and we decided that if someone quits the club, they cannot be allowed to join again. I hope you understand.
We're not quite ready for club activities just yet. Come back anytime between 5:00 and 5:30!
I'm sorry! You were late, so we started without you. Try to make it here before 5:30 next time!
Ready to start training?
Excellent! Let's begin!
Not ready yet? That's fine! We'll wait for you until 5:30!
It's hard to say this, but... one of our members has a big problem with you. To avoid conflict, I can't allow you to join this club. I'm very sorry.
It's very difficult for me to tell you this, but there are some members of our club who cannot tolerate you. Unfortunately, I must remove you from the club. Forgive me.
You are not welcome here! Leave at once!
I'm sorry, but you can't be a member of two clubs at the same time. You'd have to leave your other club in order to join us.
We offer free self-defense training! Would you like to practice fending off an armed attacker?
Do not pray for an easy life. Pray for the strength to endure a difficult one!/Defeat is a state of mind. No one is ever defeated until defeat has been accepted as a reality./Knowing is not enough, we must apply! Willing is not enough, we must do!/Fear comes from uncertainty. We can eliminate the fear within us when we know ourselves better!/I fear not the man who has practiced ten-thousand kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick ten-thousand times.
