Our Connections

Zanshin Shotokan
Shotokan
JKA
Kase-ha Shotokan

Zanshin Shotokan, Started By Sensei Frank Nowak in 1986 is a Style of Shotokan associated with JKA that Embodies the fighting spirit with strong emphasis on the Jyu Ippon Kumite and Bunkai Aspect of Kata.

Shotokan (松濤館流 Shōtōkan-ryū?) is a style of karate, developed from various martial arts by Gichin Funakoshi (1868–1957) and his son Gigo (Yoshitaka) Funakoshi (1906–1945). Gichin was born in Okinawa and is widely credited with popularizing karate through a series of public demonstrations, and by promoting the development of university karate clubs, including those at Keio, Waseda, Hitotsubashi (Shodai), Takushoku, Chuo, Gakushuin, and Hosei.

Japan Karate Association (日本空手協会; Nihon Karate Kyokai; JKA; sometimes referred to simply as Kyokai 協会 in Japan) is one of the most influential Shotokan karate organizations in the world. It is also one of the oldest karate organizations continuously in operation until the present.

The ultimate goal of Kase Ha Shotokan is to reach a level beyond technique and physical power. The authenticity of the Kase Ha Shotokan is reflected in one of the major principles which emphasises reality instead of formality as a general target in both Kumite and Kata application.
