“The ultimate aim of karate lies not in victory nor defeat but in the perfection of the character of its participants”
– Gichin Funakoshi

About the Funakoshi Shotokan Karate Association

The Funakoshi Shotokan Karate Association is a non-political organisation. Each dojo affiliates directly with Shihan Funakoshi. The FSKA does not have regional directors, the reason for this is to eliminate political structures.

The FSKA is dedicated to the development of Karate-Do, a true Japanese art, founded by Master Gichin Funakoshi, a Shotokan style based on discipline, self control, etiquette, respect, and humility. These maxims are achieved through the Japanese philosophy, physical training and mental awareness reinforcement.

The Funakoshi Shotokan Karate Association was founded with its world headquarters now in Milpitas, CA and affiliates throughout the United States, Mexico, Europe, Africa, Middle East and South America.
