DOJOS/LOCATIONS

          International Karate Federation currently has 13 dojos (locations) throughout the island of Oahu.  We have programs from East Oahu all the way to our Leeward coast.  We even have classes in Kahuku and as central as the University area. 

          Our programs are tailored to all age groups and all levels.  We accept students as young as 5 years old to senior citizens and it does not require any experience.  More than 90% of our new students have no karate experience at all but transition by just following the fundamentals.  We have a fun and friendly environment that students will find challenging but rewarding. Our programs are built on individual character development through the teachings of traditional Japanese karate.  We emphasize self-discipline, respect, humility, and commitment.  These values help to promote a learning environment so that we can produce quality students and respectful individuals throughout our communities.

          We even offer private lessons for those who need a more one-to-one setting or extra detail for competition ready students.

Karate, like any art form, is intricate and has many facets: self-defense, mental discipline, fitness, health, sport, and philosophy.  Everyone has a specific reason for beginning karate and we at IKF can help you to achieve your personal goals.  We are committed to providing an excellent program that will tailor to your individual needs.

          IKF also has dojos throughout the continental United States.  We have locations in California, Washington, and Chicago.  Some of our most decorated students who have become instructors have moved away from our islands and pursued teaching karate. These certified IKF instructors continue the teachings of founder, Sensei Chuzo Kotaka, and his unique style known as Kotaka-Ha Shito-ryu.

          If you are interested in a particular location, please e-mail us at ikfkotaka@yahoo.com or call the instructor listed with the dojo.
