International Shobukan Karate Association

The ISKA is an organization dedicated to the "promotion of Shotokan Karate-do and friendship with all practitioners" [ISKA]. Its goals are to learn and practice traditional karate, and to follow the principles behind it. Each dojo that wishes to become a member of the ISKA must submit an application that will be reviewed at the headquarters in Japan, thereby preserving the quality of teaching provided by schools affiliated with the ISKA. After acceptance, the dojo will be affiliated directly with the Hombu Dojo in Japan.
