The dojos within the South Atlantic Region of the International Shotokan Karate Federation (ISKF) teach a traditional Japanese martial art focused on discipline, precise techniques, and respect for others.
All while focusing on the individuals personal development.
The ISKF was established by the late Master Teruyuki Okazaki, who studied under Master Gichin Funakoshi, who is known as the "father of modern karate".
The ISKF is now led by its Chairman and Chief Instructor, Shihan Hiroyoshi Okazaki.
Additionally, the ISKF is a non-profit organization, which is committed to upholding the principles taught by Master Funakoshi, which include those in both the Dojo Kun and Niju Kun.
While deeply rooted in tradition, the ISKF is dedicated to providing exceptional martial arts instruction to all its members worldwide.
The South Atlantic Region shares the same mission as the ISKF:
"To preserve and spread traditional Japanese karate through exceptional instruction."
