We, the Japan Karate Association, were taught karate by Gichin Funakoshi Sensei, the founder of the style, and have worked to promote and develop budo karate from Japan to the world. And Funakoshi Sensei’s values as a warrior and karate principles are the same as those of the traditional karate and kobujutsu teachers that have been passed down from generation to generation in Okinawa to this day.
The year 2022 marks the 100th anniversary of the spread of karate in mainland Japan. On this occasion, we are planning a martial arts travel that will once again return to the origins of Funakoshi Sensei’s techniques.
