About Our Activities
Our twenty members are working hard every day to win the Kansai League Division 2 and to get
promoted to Division 1. We have six 3 rd year students, seven 2nd year students, and seven 1st year
students. We take basketball very seriously, but we also actively work on developing life skills andEnglish proﬁciency while keeping in mind our career paths after graduation. Our coach has experience
instructing in the United States and uses English with us during basketball practice. We also
communicate with each other on LINE in English to make English more accessible and to improve ourlanguage ability. When deciding what to practice each day, we analyze what we need to improve andtalk with our coach to decide. All of us work toward our goals with the keyword of "cooperation."
Message to First-Year Students from the Club Leader
First-year students, congratulations on your admission to KUAS! My name is Moeka Ego. I am a
2nd-year student in the Faculty of Bioenvironmental Sciences (Department of Agriculture and Food
Technology) and I will be the captain this season. The Women's Basketball Club is currently in the
Kansai League Division 2 and working toward making it to Division 1. In addition to basketball, we
work on life skills, English skills, and a variety of other initiatives that are not available anywhere else.
At the moment we are in the middle of team-building because we do not have any upperclassmen,
but we are training every day with the importance of communicating with the entire team. We arevery energetic so ﬁrst-year students who are eager to improve their skills are very welcome. Let's
work together toward our goal of getting promoted to the Kansai League First Division!!

About Our Activities
Powerlifting consists of three events: squats, bench presses, and deadlifts, which involve lifting the
maximum weight using a personʼ s most basic movements of standing, pushing, and pulling. The
Powerlifting Club practices every day to win a variety of national competitions (National Athletic Meet,Intercollegiate Competitions, World Championship Qualification Competitions), and top international
competitions.
Message to First-Year Students from the Club Leader
Powerlifting is a major sport that is also called “The Big 3.” If you have ever been to an athletic event inhigh school, I think you have probably experienced it once. The necessary movements are symmetricaland do not involve twisting motions, so even beginners can perform them easily. No matter what level
you are at, if you build up your muscle strength it will become easier, so how about trying it out? It may
come as a surprise, but many upperclassmen in our club have gone from complete beginners to ﬁrsttime national team competitors. The amount of eﬀort you put in is reﬂected in the amount of weight
you can lift, and the possibilities are endless depending on your determination. Everyone is welcome tojoin our club regardless of gender. All three of our clubʼ s world champions are female students. We lookforward to meeting you at our club and making memories that will last a lifetime!

On Tuesdays and Wednesdays, we receive instruction from Professor Tanaka and work on shooting and target
practice. On Fridays, we practice on our own to reinforce what we learned. On Saturdays and Sundays, we
practice for competitions and scoring with the guidance of our instructor Professor Kawaguchi. Even on days when
we do not meet, our members continue to work hard and practice individually.
During both individual and team competitions, we encourage each other and aim for victory while putting
our souls into every shot. Second-year students get to participate in the coming-of-age day archery event at
Sanjusangendo Temple, and many members of the club set this once-in-lifetime opportunity as one of their goals.
Message to First-Year Students from the Club Leader
Hello, ﬁrst-year students! I am Touma Takatsuka, the leader of the Kyudo Club. Kyudo is an ancient Japanese sport in whicharchers shoot at a target about 25 meters away, using a large Japanese-style bow that measures 221 cm, although there canbe some variation depending on the archer. There is an ancient Japanese legend about a samurai named Nasu No Yoichi who
shot a paper fan with an arrow from about 75 meters away that is quite well known, but we also practice hard every day!
Several of the members of our club started Kyudo after entering university. If you are interested in Kyudo or martial arts,
please come and visit our club. Even if you have never participated in an athletic club before, we will do our best to teachyou. We look forward to welcoming new students!

The Kyoto University of Advanced Science Kendo Club currently has 11 members (ﬁve 4 th year students, two 3 rd year
students, and four 1st year students). We mainly practice on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays.
Tuesdays and Thursdays are based around independent practice, while on Saturdays we receive practice with a visiting

We practice every day with the aim of winning tournaments in the Kyoto/Shiga area and Kansai region. Our basic practiceincludes warm-ups, stretching, practice swings, basic hitting (mask area, hand area, torso area, thrusts), “kakari” practice,“oikomi” practice, and training with others at the same skill level. Before the tournament, practice matches are also held.
Message to First-Year Students from the Club Leader
First-year students, congratulations on your admission to KUAS! The members of the Kendo Club come froma variety of backgrounds, from those who have been practicing kendo since childhood to those who started
after entering university. I think it is a wonderful thing to meet people from diverse backgrounds throughclub activities. Our club has a good balance of both having fun and seriously concentrating on kendo practice.
During your time at university, club activities are a good place to cultivate social skills and form relationships.
Your time as a student is a precious time in your life when you will able to spend a lot of time doing what
you enjoy. Club activities provide students with a comfortable space on campus, and I think that is the casefor the Kendo Club. Even if you are just a little bit interested, everyone is welcome to come visit, no matter if
you are a beginner or had stopped practicing kendo for a while. We'll be waiting for you!

The Junko Baseball Club is ideal for those who are serious about baseball and also want to balance studying, acquiring qualiﬁcations, anddoing part-time jobs. To win the spring and autumn league championships and participate in the national tournament in the summer, ourmain activities include practice three days a week and training camps twice a year in the spring and summer.
Because we practice only three times a week (Monday, Thursday, and Saturday), our university life does not only revolve around club
activities. This way we can enjoy campus life, get experience doing part-time jobs and also focus on job-hunting activities in our third yearof university. We aim to participate in the national tournament every year, and we are constantly training to create a high-level team. Last
year, for the second year in a row, we qualiﬁed for the national tournament and made it to among the top eight teams in the country. Our
club has a leader who oversees our team, and all other roles, such as director and coach, are taken on by students. This year, once again
our team's goal is to make it to the top four in the national tournament, as well as have the club members set their own goals and decide
what to practice under the guidance of the club leader in order to help the members grow and become more independent.
Message to First-Year Students from the Club Leader
New students, congratulations on your admission to KUAS! My name is Shimada and I am the leader of the Junko Baseball Club. Our
club meets on Mondays, Thursdays, and Saturdays and is currently participating in the national tournament for the second year in a row.
Since we only meet three days a week, there is no interference with schoolwork and most club members are also able to do part-timejobs. One good aspect of the Junko Baseball Club is that we can talk and practice together in a casual atmosphere because we do nothave any adult managers or coaches. Since our club is led by the members we keep a good balance of taking our practice seriously andalso having fun. If you are interested in playing baseball while also having a fulﬁlling time at university, this is the club for you! We also
allow visits, so if you are interested in trying it out, please come to Kameoka Sports Field 2! We are looking forward to seeing you!

Beginners can work at their own pace alongside higher-ranking members, and
it is possible to get a black belt by graduation! More than half of the members
in our club started Shorinjikempo in university. All of our members practiceaccording to their own level. We adjust the meeting days, times, and locations
each semester according to the timetables of our members, so you can continue
to participate in our club activities while prioritizing your studies and othercommitments. If you are even just a little interested in joining our club, please

About Our Activities
The Motocross Club meets once a month on the third Saturday of themonth from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. at Kameoka Campus to do motorcycle
maintenance and practice driving. Since the course is located on campus
you do not need a driverʼ s license, and you can borrow protective
equipment! Our goal is to win the Campus Oﬀ-Road National Championship,
so we participate in motocross competitions and tours to become as fast
as possible. Also, we want all our members to be able to do motorcycle
maintenance, which we do on a regular basis in order to continue improving.
Message to First-Year Students from the Club Leader
New students, congratulations on entering KUAS. You must be excited about
your life at university that is about to begin. On the other hand, you may feel
confused and anxious in an unfamiliar environment, but I encourage you toexperience many things while cherishing your encounters with various people
to grow as a person. I have also met many
people at university and had both fun anddiﬃcult times through these encounters, but
I was able to overcome and grow with myclassmates through mutual encouragement.
Unlike high school, you have a lot of freetime during your time at university. How
you use that time is up to you!

Message to First-Year Students from the Club Leader
New students, congratulations on your entrance to KUAS. I'm the leaderof the Shooting Club, Shota Sakuragi. Our club's main activities areclay target shooting, which has recently become an official event at the
Olympics, and target shooting using air guns. Since both activities use
real guns with live ammunition, permission to carry a ﬁrearm is required.
Therefore, the Shooting Club holds study sessions to support members
in obtaining a permit. We are also planning to start new shooting-related
activities in the future, so from this year we will encourage new members
to participate in physical activities in addition to the study sessions.
Yearly Schedule
TBD

Committees⇒ 2021k002@kuas.ac.jp

The Shooting Club meets about twice a week. The main activity for new

considerably due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there are many opportunities to be on stage.
You can form multiple bands, form a band for each live concert, and enjoy the freedom toperform as you wish. If you are interested in music and live performances, please feel free tocontact us!

Tea ceremonies combine various elements of Japanese traditional culture so muchso that it is also considered the “comprehensive art” of Japanese culture. If you areinterested in traditional Japanese culture, if you like tea and sweets, if you want towear a kimono, if you want to ﬁnd a hobby that you can continue for a long time,or if you just have free time, please come join us!

About Our Activities
Our club practices for tea ceremony events that are held twice per year in addition
to doing regular tea ceremonies in our club in the Urasenke-style, which is one of
the three main tea ceremony schools. Also, we occasionally go to the Urasenke
estate to practice. There is a tea ceremony room at Kameoka Campus where we
do our regular practice and tea ceremonies. What we practice is tailored to eachindividual, so there is no need to have previous experience doing tea ceremonies.
For tea ceremony events, we either use the Kameoka Campus tearoom or rent a
tearoom oﬀ-campus and the club members all work together to entertain visitors.

About Our Activities
At our club, we practice shimai (noh dance) and utai (noh chanting/recitation). We
are one of the rare clubs that meet at Uzumasa Campus. (Of course, we meet in
Kameoka, too.) Either way, it is not necessary to travel to another campus! Also,
since we only meet for an hour and a half, it is a good club for busy people! Every
year, we have performances called “Aki-no-Kai” in October and “Haru-no-kai” inMarch. Beginners are welcome! Or perhaps I should say no one in this club has
previous experience.

About Our Activities
The Rubber Baseball Circle has a wide range of members from beginners to experienced players. Our activities include meeting at a park in
the city after classes, where we can practice catching, batting, and situational ﬁelding practice. In ﬁelding practice, each person is allowed
to bat twice. After the ﬁrst hit they stay still, then they run after the second hit. There is a reason for this, which is because we want you
to try to bat as best as you can. If you are batting and running, you will inevitably lose your form because you will not be able to swing as
hard as you should. We always practice like this, and if we have more people, we can have intra-squad matches within the team.

involved, but the sense of accomplishment is great! We know that there arethings you may not know about each group or its activities, but there is noneed to worry as we will teach you at the beginning. Please feel free to visit
our booths and activities. Let's make an exciting school festival together!

About Our Activities
The Culture and Sports Federation Council, which is part of the Student Council, is
responsible for organizing official club activities and circles and handles three maintasks. The ﬁrst task is a bi-weekly online meeting to communicate important information
to clubs and circles. For this purpose, we collaborate on a daily basis with Koufukan staﬀ
members in the Student Center and the Sports Promotion Center, as well as with othercommittees. The second task is approving new official circles. For approval, we willconduct an online question-and-answer session with the circle representatives. The third
task is to attend a weekly meeting with the entire Student Council to discuss the overall
policies of the association and approved groups (clubs and circles).
