IWKA World Championship Returning in 2024

The pandemic put many things on hold, including the IWKA World Championship. Plans are in the works for a return in 2024.

Here’s a flashback newspaper clipping about PSKC at the 2011 competition:

“Dragon Man” of Isshin Ryu

Over a century ago, in the small village of Chan, on a small island in the south pacific, a boy was born. One day he would become a Karate Master whose art would reach beyond the shores of Okinawa and spread across the globe.

“Dragon Man” of Isshin Ryu, Shimabuku Tatsuo Sensei
(September 19, 1908 – May 30, 1975)

Brave audience members join us on stage at Matsuri

Thank You to the Penn State Japanese Friendship Association for inviting the Penn State Karate Club to participate in their 2022 Matsuri event earlier this month.

A few brave audience members joined us on stage for the participation part of our presentation. Here they are going through Fukyugata Dai Ichi, a special introductory kata developed by Master Shoshin Nagamine (長嶺将真) in the 1940s to help promote Okinawan Karate.
