Mission: To preserve and spread traditional Japanese karate through exceptional instruction.
Welcome to the International Shotokan Karate Federation (ISKF)
The ISKF is a global community dedicated to the art of traditional Shotokan Karate. Established by Master Teruyuki Okazaki, a direct disciple of Master Gichin Funakoshi—the revered founder of Shotokan—our organization preserves and promotes the timeless values and teachings of authentic karate.
As a non-profit organization, the ISKF holds steadfast to the spirit and principles of Shotokan through the Dojo Kun and Niju Kun, guiding members of all ages to cultivate character, respect, and resilience. While deeply rooted in tradition, the ISKF connects students and practitioners worldwide, building unity and mutual understanding through the shared pursuit of karate excellence.
