IASK INDIA (International Academy of Shotokan Karate-Do) stands as a premier institution for the promotion and preservation of Shotokan Karate. Nestled in the heart of New Delhi, India, this esteemed academy has been a beacon of martial arts excellence since its founding in 2012 by Sensei Ravindra Kumar. Aligned with the prestigious Shotokan Karate-Do International Federation Japan (SKIF Japan), IASK is committed to the principles of discipline, respect, and continuous self-improvement, characteristic of this ancient martial art.
Inspiringly, the establishment of IASK was driven by the invaluable guidance of Soke Hirokazu Kanazawa, a living legend in the world of martial arts. Sensei Ravindra Kumar’s close association with Soke Kanazawa underscores a profound dedication to uphold the highest standards of Shotokan Karate. With a growing network of branches throughout India, each led by passionate and skilled instructors, IASK becomes a nurturing ground where students of all ages and backgrounds can come together, bond over their shared interests, and grow together through Karate.
A distinctive feature of IASK is the annual tradition of inviting master instructors from SKIF HQ Japan. These esteemed instructors provide world-class training and conduct Black Belt Dan Grading Examinations, ensuring that members receive authentic and advanced instruction directly from the source. This unique opportunity significantly enhances the skills and knowledge of the IASK members, keeping the club at the forefront of Karate training.
Inclusivity and unity are at the heart of IASK INDIA. Open to individuals and organizations who share a passion for Shotokan Karate, the academy welcomes everyone from seasoned practitioners to newcomers eager to explore martial arts. IASK is more than just an organization; it is a family bonded by the love for Shotokan Karate and a shared vision to propagate its essence throughout India and beyond.
