Welcome to IJKA UK

Chief Instructor

It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to the International Japan Karate Association – United Kingdom (IJKA UK).

IJKA UK is an Association with very old roots, as the UK was home for the late IJKA World Chief Instructor Kato Shihan for 54 years and is therefore the spiritual home to his unique Shotokan karate style.

Now that you’ve found us, please take time to see what IJKA UK is all About but like the karate in Kato Shihan’s dojo, you may find the IJKA UK‘s website has evolved next time you visit.
That constant evolution kept me coming back for more knowledge as Kato Shihan 10th Dan was my Sensei for 50 years.

Also for the very latest IJKA UK news check out the Association Blog

IJKA UK is proud to carry and uphold the legacy left by Kato Shihan.

Yours in Karate-Do.
Osu,
Keith Crighton 7th Dan IJKA ~ IJKA UK Chief Instructor
