Re: "group" in Japanese?

If what I hear is indicative of a general trend, I believe that 'circle' is a common way of describing a group that's 'into' something.

Otherwise, what do you think of 団体 (dantai)?
Interestingly, there's an 合気道団体 (aikido dantai) entry in the Japanese Wikipedia, under which it lists most of the well-known Japanese aikido organizations, Aikikai, Yoshinkai, Shinshin Toitsu Aikidokai, etc.

But as a name of a club, I don't think it would be too bad.
