    A Message to the overseas Members 


    15th, March, 2016



    Greetings to all the members over the world! I believe you practice Karate very hard.

    We had made you worry by our internal confusion about operation of our association. In the period, Mr. Nakahara Nobuyuki had retired from the chairman and I was elected as his successor.

    Since then, I have made an effort to operate the organization smoothly putting highest priority on making unified and conciliatory organization. At current our association has resumed peace and been normally operated complying with the law. Please be relieved.

    Soon after becoming the chairman, I restored relationship with JKF and made JKA rejoin JKF cooperative associations group. After that, all national members have been able to concentrate on Karate practice.

    It is instructors who have major important role in our association activities. Therefore, I have kept close communication with them. Now we have established the system which all the instructors concentrate on their task with solid cooperation each other. Our association will keep working on expansion and development of Karate of “Ippon” style as a martial art for many years to come.

    We will have close cooperation with members in all over the world and respond expectation. We appreciate for your support and cooperation in the future, too.

    Last but not least, I wish you continued success and prosperity from the bottom of my heart.

    A message to Members in abroad

    A message to Members in abroad

    A message to Members in abroad


    14th, March, 2016


    Japan Karate Association was formed in 1948 having the founder of Shotokan Karate-do Funakoshi Gichin Sensei as the highest instructor. Since then for 68 years, “Oshie”, the discipline, as the fundamental of our association has been passed down by Nakayama Masatoshi Shihan, 
    the first chief instructor, and Sugiura Tokuji Shihan, the second chief instructor, and many people who felt sympathy over the world continuously.

    The “Oshie” emphasize spiritual value such as actual practice of courtesy, harmony with oneself and others and so on. It teaches balance of mind and body through concentration on pursuit of “Kime”, which is the biggest goal of the skill. It teaches that Karate’s essence is pursuit of skill and Karate-do is acquiring higher self-control ability by practicing the skill.

    We would like to remind this fundamental point again, practice our JKA original Karate-do and show us to the world in 2016. For that, all the instructors have to be united to quest Karate-do and acquire higher skill and instructing ability.

    Therefore, I have put instructors at HQ into Shihankai to make it more active. Besides, finally Oishi Sensei has become Fuku-Shuseki Shihan (vice chief instructor). It had been pending by his refusal though many members had expected. His acceptance of this appointment will be result in our strength.

    From now on, new strengthen Shihankai is going to altogether concentrate on the development and expansion of JKA. In particular we will emphasize recheck of Kihon and improvement of judging and instructing skill at Spring camp in April 2016 and share the integrated content in the world. We wish the participants will have closer communication and bond each other by practicing hard     together and discussion.
    Finally we are very sorry listening that our confusion had made false rumor and buzz and made confuse all over the world last year.

    We are going to fully concentrate on the growth and prosperity of JKA from now on. 

    We appreciate your cooperation and support.

    Sad News


    Dear all JKA members,

     We are sad to have to inform you that our second chief Instructor, Mr. Hatsukuni Sugiura passed away at the age of 90, at 18:23 on 10th August, 2015.

     The funeral ceremony was held on 13th and 14th August at his residence.

     Although we would have liked to inform you all of the ceremony sooner, respecting the bereaved family’s intentions, only JKA directors, graduates of Asia University and limited related persons attended the ceremony.


    Japan Karate Association has decided to hold a memorial service in memory of the late Sensei Sugiura to talk and reminisce about his distinguished achievements and personality. We are now in the process of organizing this service.

     We will inform you all of further details nearer the time.

     Your attendance is warmly requested.

     Yours sincerely,
    Masaki Ueki
    Chief Instructor

    JKA Karate Is Scientific and Is Constantly Being Improved

    JKA Karate Is Scientific and Is Constantly Being Improved

    Every technique and movement in JKA karate is based on solid, scientific, physical movement theory. That’s why we put such heavy focus far more than any other organization on kihon, the basic foundational techniques, and their proper form, angle and balance. The result speaks for itself: JKA karate is powerful, solid, stable, and smooth flowing; this has proven itself time and again in tournaments. Despite the excellence of JKA karate, however, it is constantly being improved.

    JKA Karate Has Strong Roots

    JKA karate is a unique refinement of the Shotokan Style, one of the oldest and most traditional types of Okinawan karate. Since it descends directly from such "Original" sources, it has developed from strong roots underpinned by a long history and a great tradition.
