Japan Karate Association
The JKA was founded in May, 1949. By 1955, the first headquarters dojo had been built at Yotsuya in Tokyo, and the first JKA Chairman had been appointed: Saigo Kichinosuke, member of the upper house of the Japanese Diet and grandson of Saigo Takamori, one of the greatest heroes of Meiji Japan. In 1956, the JKA set up the first-ever karate specialist instructor intern (kenshusei) training program at the headquarters dojo, and accepted its first round of trainees. This was the start of the finest karate instructor training program ever created, a program never matched or even approached by any other karate organisation. It is through this program that the JKA has built up its unique cadre of distinguished karate instructors, all full-time salaried professionals, whose numbers are consistently maintained at roughly twenty individuals.
On April 10, 1957, the JKA became a legal entity when Japans Ministry of Education (now Ministry of Education, Science, Sports, and Culture) officially recognized the JKA as an association of members for the promotion of karate and the spread and enrichment of actual karate practice. Twelve years later, another karate organisation was also given legal status, based not on membership but on contribution by an individual foundation, mainly for the purpose of arranging karate matches.
Roughly two weeks after official status was granted, Supreme Master Funakoshi passed away at the age of 89. After almost a decade of milestones, it was the end of an era. But the real growth of karate was yet to come.
May 1949 JKA formed under Supreme Master Funakoshi Gichin
Mar 20, 1955 First JKA headquarters dojo established at Yotsuya
Mar 22, 1955 Saigo Kichinosuke becomes first JKA Chairman
Apr 1, 1956 First ever karate specialist instructor training program established at headquarters dojo
Apr 10, 1957 JKA officially recognized by Japanese government; becomes legal entity
Apr 26, 1957 Supreme Master Funakoshi passes away (age 89)
The above covers the early years of the JKA (1949 - 1957)
I miss the old days. I've been a student of budo for 30 yrs. My teachers are old men now and I'm right behind them. This beautiful art they passed on to me I'm forever grateful. To my fellow Karateka...the old ways still live on in the ones that keep them alive. Osu
How many people practice shotokan in the world today? I mean, in the millions maybe? I've heard it's popular, just not sure how popular. And, is it considered a Japanese art, or from Okinawa?
Shotokan style of Karate has given me a good lot of confidence. Sometimes you can just fight by not fighting and that is the confidence you get practicing Shotokan. Love this style
Fight by not fight is silly Thought, Just don't think about fight at all, or Fighting without thinking about Fight has more peace rather than thinking silly about fight all the time.
my father taught me the style of shotokan karate since i was 7 years old now i am 25 years old and i still train.. i didnt have any formal training in other dojos and a rank.. i just have my fathers old gi and his black belt.. he gave it to me when i reached 18 y/o.. now i often watch shotokan vids here in youtube and now i think all he taught me about some aspects of karate especially the kata are genuine.. i hope i can train again with my sensei.. my father..
@An_KiT how do you know?
@An_KiT always look at people from a positive aspect it changes your life and the way people look at you
Its so sad that Shotokan has become a sport for showing off more than a martial art i really love to train as the old ways even if it doesn't have a bright future or become famous because you won some gold middles just i want to go back to the roots to the beautiful shotokan
Souq Ma Diq it depends on which association you are with
Also, What you do with the training is yours. Be a superstar, or just be you
Well said couldn't have said it better💯💯
One thing i like about the Japanese is that they're meticulous in whatever they do.
Karate is clearly one of the most effective martial arts on this world
Depends who practises it and how good they become!

This takes me back to the early 70's when I started Shotokan. Sensei Enoeda did our shodan gradings and I remember sensei Kanazawa taking lessons too. A wonderful martial art that changed my life and still structures my training now.
It's good to see Sensei Masao Kawasoe expressing his technical mastery, no bravado or show just pure karate as it should be!
Thanks for posting this ... well done...
Precious videos. So glad to see the authentic Shotokan katas
Again brilliant!!!!
Very Beautiful Video, Thank you very much for uploading and sharing to the world....
Ossu!
Great old JKA footage, with many of the best Shotokan Masters, thanks..domo!
This video underlines that karate is truly a way of life.
shotokan has throws punches kicks elbows blocks takedowns weapon disarming
Sadly Shotokan Karate is following same path as Judo . Changed into watered down art. Judo of today is different them Judo of the past, Shotokan of old was such a treasure.
I think it depends what association you're with. For example, I'm in a Shorin-ryu association, our master keeps it small for this reason.
@Yung Dripy the tough ones are really in japan or very small groups
@Yung Dripy yeah i know its like judo sometimes but with better economy of motion(Sometimes)
A great master once told me shotokan is true karate, I just learned of his passing R.I.P. S. T.O. !
Respect !
Might just be my feelings of nostagia, or an over-romanticized view of the past, but something about those old black-and-white photos and clips make the old Japanese masters seem like giants, legends that inhibit a dream-realm. Never mind me! I'm drinking heavily at the moment! OSS!
Tyehimba Jahsi Drinking is not good for you.As all bad things are.
We are nostalgic about black and white pictures as those were the days we were young.Those days will never return.But we thank God for them.
The great masters of Karate only cared about their.devotion to the art.
And to pass it on in a sincere and profound way to their students.

I Started Shotokan in 1961.
It saved my life more than once outside the DoJo.
Thank`s for this great video,Karate shotokan JKA is my way of life since 1975.Oss from Portugal.
I saw very clean fighting. Thank you.
When I see films like this its good to see such good karatika, but it never really gets over to people who have not trained with masters like this just how good they really are. The presence one of these people has is amazing. You can feel them walk into a room!
Nice video, Greatest masters of all time!!!!
SHOTOKAN IS ONE OF THE WILDEST KARATE and I really want to lern it and I want to teach people in old wats.
LOVE SHOTOKAN...........😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
I feel very proud and honored to have been a student of the late Enoeda Sensei, and very honored to have trained under most of the senior JKA instructors shown in this clip at Crystal Palace London UK over a period of more than 15 years, The very best of my Karate training. All Shotokan Karateka and instructors of today's world owe a lot of respect to these great men.
The name of the background song is Preparing the Way (Embrace the Moment) by Herrin. You’re welcome...
Thank you very much. It helped a lot, I was looking for that song and couldn't find it. Big hug!
THANK YOUR A MIRACLE ✝️
Absolutely brilliant.....Controlled aggression !!!!.....Great to watch.
Very touching. I am getting the feeling that karate reveals itself after a lifetime of training. One must continue to polish the spirit through tears and pain. Then a dragon emerges.
oh damn...I miss it...I was in the Prime of my Health back then...could carry 250 kilos on my stomack back then...I had fought 36 tounaments before I had to quit because of Severe Hand and Arm Injurys...sensei ni rei to this video5/5
Great video. And the music goes well with it
Agora sim o karatê shotokan tradicional que é muito eficiente,é até mais perigoso que o kyokushin se duvidar,claro,os dois são,mas isso vai da dedicação de cada lutador de sua arte
being introduced to the magical world of karate for about 6 months now, had the great honour of grading under Kanazawa sensi last week in ireland, it was a magical moment for me to be stood just feet from this karate legend, this great karate men have an aura and humbility which cant be matched, it is a great honour to have been introduced to there amazing world, oss.
This is absolutely Beautiful. It's vids like this that remind us how disciplined and how hard martial artists have trained. This is very inspirational to anyone who practices martial arts regardless of what style.
Osu!!
Amazing, and inspirational video about the best shotokan organisation! Just great !
Wow. It was great to be reminded all those men that I looked up to in my youth and from whom I learned so much. Thank you, Sundome1.
Great
the best video about Jka Karate
Congratulations
Osu T.
Very nostalgic. Truly nice.
Thank you "Sundome1 San" for posting your great video and sharing your knowledge with us. Thanks to you I learned more today.
This clip is truly amazing and inspiring.
I've seen some great Shotokan videos on here, this one however must be the greatest on the net.
Thank You! OSS
Best and Brillant Video. 🙏🙏🙏💚
Oss.
100% cold chivers !
Many of the sensei's i had the honour to train with. In the yearly karatestages in Ghent and Knokke , Belgium.
Even trained with some of them in Tokyo, every day from Iidabashi Metro to the dojo.
Thnx for the sharing, OSS mata aimasho
Been diplomated by the Japan Karate Association is a great achivement but mostly, honored.
Ousss
Exelent, i don't have words to exprese the feeling in my spirit when i see this video.
First Rate Karate Video.
JKA Karate deserves it for long time..
Beautiful video. Unfortunately for me I have been searching for a JKA club near me in West London but no luck.
nice.. have any of you who know Shotokan know of sensei Steve Uble? He was a student in Funakoshi's dojo. I had the privilege of going to a few seminars directed by him, an amazing sensei.
shotokan karate and kyokushin karate is same great and awesome martial arts
i like them both
I only wish that shotokan could find it's old spirit, the way traditional karate was thought including not only kicks and punches but also joint locks, throws and traditional weapons, because it is a martial art and not a sport.
Many thanks for this wonderful video.
Fantastic!
Excellent presentation, thanks for sharing.
You seemed to have forgotten both Funakoshi’s Shotokai 1930, and Kenkojuku 1942 that was blessed by Funakoshi with the JKA being organized in 1949.
I didn't see Shihan Ozawa in this... He was a student (directly) of Master Funakoshi, and a founding member of JKA... I studied under his pupils, and under him directly once a year... Love this video, thank you to whom ever created it... I've fought many opponents of different variations of Shotokan, and all are to be respected!! These men and women are diligent in their training and fierce combatants!! The Shodan are some of the best!! If you haven't attempted this form of karate do, do it!!
im seeing shotokan is block and punch at the same time...good martial arts.
belajar shotokan jugak ke?
Great video very well done my respect to all Karate practicioners God bless everyone!
Je sais pourquoi j'adore le Karaté Shotokan, merci pour cette vidéo !!
My sensei tells me that kata can be seen as a battle with one's self. After a year of training I think I am starting to understand. For me Karate is the battle with myself, every ounce of control over my entire body I can grasp, and that's the high I get from dojo kun. Great Channel

Pô véi,queria treinar o karatê shotokan mas o tradicional,e não esses de hoje em dia de campeonato que fica só nos pulinho com chutes e socos sem vontade,se me entende né cara,eu sei que sim,poxa,até nas lutas tá cheio de regras agora,ai perde a graça,mas fazer o que né,daí depois os cara sai por ai achando que é o bom de briga e acaba apanhando,ou não,mas tinha que ser que nem antigamente os treinos,não tem mais campeonato assim de shotokan tradicional,ou tem?
@@funksoul7739 Tem sim. Procure a Federação de Karatê tradicional do seu estado ou procure a Confederação Brasileira de Karatê Tradicional para informações sobre as Academias. OSS!
In summer 2008 I trained at the Tokyo Hombu pictured in the beginning of this video. At about the 2:00 minute mark are photos and video footage of Nishiyama Sensei, who I also had the honor to train with and earn my first three Dan levels under. One of his oldest and most dedicated students lives here Sensei Robert Fusaro and he has been teaching Shotokan in Minnesota for over 50 years. I have been training with him and Sensei Nina Chenault for the past 35 years and training all over the world has shown me the universal appeal and effectiveness of Shotokan karate.
8minutes of my life well spent! I have been training in Shotokan for 7yrs and am still only just starting to understand it
Took me about 25 years. Depends on the person. It's worth it
Very good! Best video!
Tks!
Marvelous! :)
Well, I am not a JKA member, neither i am any dan, but i've been practicing Shotokan for 5 years (yes, very little, i'm still doing it) but I really loved the video! Thankyou very much!
Oss!
You know someone is a real master, when his black belt turns white.
Shotokan is the most intresting material art (karate) becouse of it is so much tradition, material art, The Japanese military have training karate most of the time
@SuperPluto10
it depends on you and on your master... but know that, befor shotokan i have trained in Judo and then in a different kind of karate named Budo-kan-Rio, i loved them very much but when i moved out of town and found out about shotokan, i understood very fast that it is something alse, i love it and dispite all problems i am still training and hope to do so forever! i personally know many people who started to train at your age and gone pretty far on their ways.
i say, go for it!
@superlion72 My understanding of the tiger symbol in Shotokan is that Funakoshi, after a hard training session, would unwind by taking walks on Mount Toroh (sorry, I don't know the spelling), and the mountain looked like a Tiger's tail. On these walks he would enjoy the sound of the waving pines. It was relaxing to him. As I understand it, this is where we get the tiger symbol from, as well as the "waving pines" (shoto). I welcome any correction or addition to this.
great video, touching and powerful at the same time ;)
can you please give me the name of the song used?
thanks a lot
Davide
my favorit is sensei asai
Shotokan has many variations in the applications and techniques, that become it differente from the okinawa way. Longer and lower positions as well different ways to prepare and execute blocks and strikes make of shotokan a different style. I am shito ryu and I admire how Shotokan spread karate, and how influence many styles (Kyukushin, Wado Ryu, Jyoshimon, Taekwondo, Renbukai), for that all my respect.
MEMORIES A LOT OF SWET AND BLOOD IT WAS GREAT
bow. for all sensai keeping the tradition .true jka shotokan. and others karatekas.bow and peace.oss.
Amazing video...
excelente video con los mejores maestros de la J.K.A.
LOS MAS GRANDES MAESTROS ESTAN AKI EN ESTE VIDEO NAKAYAMA , ENOEDA , SHIRAI , KASE, ABE ,TANAKA , KANAZAWA, NISHIYAMA, OSAKA KAGAWA.LOS MAS GRANDE KE EL KARATE A DAO Y NUNCA LLEGAREMOS A SU ALTURA
Good demonstration.
Respond to this video... Love it, it touches me
Wow -Super
Website "The Shotokan Way" corroborates your definition:
"Shoto was Funakoshi’s pen name as a writer, meaning ‘pine waves’ and Kan means ‘school’ so those who trained at Funakoshi’s ‘school’ became known as the Shotokan."
I stand corrected!
@SuperPluto10 Bro, my Sensei started at 18 years old and managed to become second in Europe.
He's a black belt at the moment, he learned BJJ and Shotokan Karate. Now he trains his MMA team.
In his MMA lessons he always trained us to use a long distance which is perfect in my opinion. If we get in a close distance we use grappling and If you'll ever have a street fight with no weapons you'll win 99 percent whitout a scratch because Shotokan trains lightning speed. It's an awesome martial art.
The best style in karate ooss
my highest respects for your work.Oss.
Awsome...respect to the legends always. Ive always said if you really gonna go far in karate sooner or later your gonna have to go to the source. The states can't really take you there but it could prepare you for that day that you can train in Japan and get real diploma with appropriate stamp piccture with proof of accreditation by the government of Japan that you have gone through the Real training past your 5 degree all the way to the 11th. same should hold true of if it was Korean karate or Chinese karate or Burmese Karate.. learn form the essence.
Emotions...
A question, must a karateka know all 26 Shotokan katas when testing for black belt?
This is basic karate at it s finest it's how you train your mind not the b s you see in tournaments or other types of competition you train long and hard even if you aren't at a dojo it's pure karate 😎
Incredible Kawasoe at 4:18.
I appreciate your observation. I practice Uechi-ryu and I often run into that assumption that because karate utilizes strikes, it is somehow an attacking system. Karate, properly understand, is concerned with defense in the same way Aikido is, which generally does not use strikes in its approach. If karate kicks and punches have a proper target, it is the smallness of our hearts.
I studied under Mori Masataka sensei, here in JKA New York. I felt bad I when I missed Enoeda sensei's last seminar before he died. Watching this video makes you feel you're saying goodbye to some the senseis who have gone, as well as those who are at the twilight of their ages. Good Vid... OSSU!
ossu! thank you for sharing...
yes, he is in California but he travels all across the world, I live in Quebec, Canada.
He is more of a piratical back to basics kind of sencei, he does not compete or train people for competition.
6:48 Kancho kanazawa! 1st one on the left i got to train and meet him last week it was the best OSS!! Kancho!
Oxford Dictionary's version:
Origin:
Japanese, from shō 'right, true' + to 'way' + kan 'mansion' or "Hosue of the true way."
My greatest regret is that I have only one lifetime alloted to me to learn the martial arts; I would like another to learn and appreciate Shotokan Karate.
Peace.
@aDiDasBiH .Infact it was The Movies in which Bruce Lee had inspired me to begin looking at Martial Arts.
I also study Aikido and Omori Ryu Iai.But it is always going to be Shotokan which keeps me so inspired today.And I soley study to enhance my personality and how I conduct myself in around people I come into contact.How long you been studying Wing Tsun.
