The International Shotokan Karate Academy
is a big Dojo International of Karate Shotokan and it was created in
the year 2000, after several professionals of Karate meet to exchange
ideas, experiences and several restlessness and necessities.

the conclusion that it was necessary, for the good operation and mainly
for the future of the Traditional Karate, to create an Organization
that not alone pursues the idea of Karate with a sport facet. It is is
an Academy to advise the instructors with didactic material and to offer
a technical support so that they can transmit in a clear and correct
way the line of the Shotokan traditional, and from the Honbu Dojo
support to all the Dojos, Associations, Federations or groups that show
interest so that its can create in its respective countries a delegation
of this International Academy. This way they will take a unified
technical line that will be supervised under the technical department of
the Honbu Dojo of International Shotokan Karate Academy
This is the way the International Shotokan Karate Academy
is working as a technical department to these organizations members
with the purpose of unifying the technical approaches, the evaluation
and recognition of instructor and this way to send certificates of
grades in common.
