Founded by Sensei Shiv K. Panchal in 2006, ISKF India is committed to preserving the intangible cultural treasure of traditional Shotokan Karate-do, passed down in its original form by Grand Master Teruyuki Okazaki, 10th Dan.
The name Sho Bu Kai — "to practice Budo with Honor" — defines our path. Budo translates as the Martial Path to Enlightenment. We study Karate-Do to illuminate that path, and we do so with honor.
Today ISKF India has roots spread across Haryana, Delhi, Tamil Nadu, Jharkhand, U.P., Bihar, West Bengal, Maharashtra, Assam, and Andhra Pradesh — with over 30,000 karatekas moving in the same direction.
