Indian Academy of Shotokan Karate

Indian Academy of Shotokan Karate Indian Academy of (松濤館) Shotokan Karate, an association of disciples & staunch followers of the Shotokan clan of martial arts in India and abroad.

The Indian Academy of Shotokan Karate (IASK) was established in 23rd January 2014. IASK is International Associates of Shotokan Karate South Africa. IASK is member of Karate Association of India (KAI), the only governing body of all style karate. The IASK is a highly-disciplined organization that adheres to the traditional way of Shotokan karate. Shotokan (松濤館 Shōtōkan) is a style of karate, deve

loped from various martial arts by Gichin Funakoshi (1868–1957) and his son Gigo (Yosh*taka) Funakoshi (1906–1945). Gichin was born in Okinawa and is widely credited with popularizing "karate do" 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. Funakoshi had many students at the university clubs and outside dojos, who continued to teach karate after his death in 1957. However, internal disagreements (in particular the notion that competition is contrary to the essence of karate) led to the creation of different organizations—including an initial split between the Japan Karate Association (headed by Masatoshi Nakayama) and the Shotokai (headed by Motonobu Hironishi and Shigeru Egami), followed by many others—so that today there is no single "Shotokan school", although they all bear Funakoshi's influence. As the most widely practiced style, Shotokan is considered a traditional and influential form of karate do.

This afternoon, I received a wonderful gift. Thanks to the efforts of Sensei Sahbaz and Sensei Pintu.
It's something different from regular karate training—a thoughtful compilation focused on helping students develop the right mindset and unlock their true potential. I truly believe this will not only help students grow as individuals but also make their karate journey even better.
A sincere thank you to both of you for this wonderful initiative. Oss! 🥋
