Traditional Shotokan Karate-do Federation South Australia - Gawler

The Traditional Shotokan Karate-Do Federation (TSKF) is a Shotokan-based not-for-profit Karate organisation that is following the original teachings of the founder Gichin Funakoshi and the late Master Nakayama. TSKFA truly believe that the #1 Principle “Never forget that karate begins and ends with respect” should be followed at all times. We also promote strong moral principles, traditional etiquette and the encouragement of goodwill and harmony among all karateka.

Shihan visits Australia twice a year and spends many weeks touring dojos all over the country. During this time he conducts trainings sessions and gradings and presides over State events. We are very lucky to have a man of this calibre teaching us. He brings an unbroken line of instruction to us.

We have joined the International Shotokan Karate Federation (ISKF) and look forward to an exciting future with opportunities to train with like-minded Shotokan karate groups and foster an 'open-door' policy. Refer to the national web site for more information.
