ABOUT OUR KARATE SCHOOL
At ISKF, non-profit organization International Shotokan Karate Federation, headquartered in Philadelphia, our mission is to preserve and spread traditional karate through exceptional instruction.
For more than 50 years, ISKF Colorado have kept our direct lineage to Japanese karate, following Sensei Yaguchi's footsteps. Our ultimate goal is to build good character through hard training.
At the start of 2017 Sensei Dale and Sensei Ryu took over the business in Denver location after Sensei Yaguchi's retirement. Now ISKF Colorado has three schools, located in Denver, Centennial, and Lone Tree. We are a part of ISKF Mountain States Region. The history and tradition inspire us to excel in our practice. Come in and see for yourself!

Calligraphy by Master Nakayama
DOJO KUN Everyone who trains in karate must know the dojo kun. At the end of each training session—whether it be at the dojo, after class, or after a tournament, which Sensei Okazaki always call “special training”—the dojo kun is repeated all together by the students as a reminder of why we train. The dojo kun states the basic philosophy of karate, according to its founder and his teacher, Master Gichin Funakoshi. Master Funakoshi believed that, for the true karate-ka, the dojo kun should not only be considered a set of rules of conduct in the dojo, but a guide to everyday life. Everything we learn in the dojo, we should apply to everyday life.
