Don't go for the mixing of your styles as suggested like Gokan.Will seem as though you've made up your own style.
Think of something or a meaning that represents your way or school.
Then get it translated in to Japanese & see how it sounds. Which is easy enough. |

I strongly suggest that if you don't know the language, don't use it for the name of your club. Just use an english name.

In My case, my Sensei gave me the Japanese
name for the Dojo. I guess i lucked out, as he
was able to draw up the calligraphy for me
and there by eliminate potential problems.
Shoshin Dojo - beginner's mind
good luck |

I'd suggest trying to find someone who is fluent in Japanese and who could draw out the calligraphy for you. Try and think about which part of the club and aspect of your training you want to emphasise and create a name based around that. If not, why not consider an English name? There's nothing wrong with having an English club name - it doesn't have to be in Japanese!!

At least as good as "Gaijin Ryu," or "Sex Way House (Seidokan)"
