How to join IKS

 

Many people have requested IKS (International Karate Shotokan) membership from around Japan and across the world.

Of course, we cannot just accept anyone. Membership requires that the individual either: (a) Passes an official IKS Dan Examination; or (B) Transfers an existing Dan rank from a recognized organization.

International Karate Shotokan is not interested in becoming a big group but, rather, is a quality organization focused on: (1) the propagation of the highest level of Budo/Bujutsu karate; (2) friendship; and (3) freedom from negative politics.

We also have a legacy to preserve.
