NEWSFLASH

ISKF RESIGNS FROM JKA/WF

ISKF (International Shotokan Karate Federation) has rejected the resolution passed at the JKA/WF International Board of Directors meeting in January 2007, in which they participated; on June 11, 2007 they officially resigned from JKA/WF. JKA HQ has formally accepted this resignation, which was not unexpected and will not have any effect on the Japan Karate Association countries worldwide.

Three of the four founding members of ISKF, Mikami-Sensei, Koyama-Sensei, and Takashina-Sensei, have decided to remain with the Japan Karate Association, and have resigned from ISKF. They have now established a new JKA organization named JKA/WF America, which has been formally approved by JKA HQ

Any ISKF member countries or individual members who decide to leave ISKF are welcome to join JKA HQ or JKA/WF America. All their qualifications, including Dan ranking, will automatically be approved, provided that they officially apply for membership with JKA HQ or JKA/WF America by the end of this year, December 31st, 2007.

As a first step in the process of becoming official members in JKA/WF America please send us an email requesting applications for membership. Please include contact information for each of the dojo's in your region that are interested in participating so that we may post them on our website immediately as pending members.
Soon after that you will receive applications for your dojo's and all your students. Once received, please complete and return to our main office as soon as possible. You may return applications to us via the mailing address, fax, or email listed below.
