We are pleased to extend an invitation to all fellow karateka of all ages, regardless of style or affiliation, to come join us for a wonderful day of training!

Kancho Nobuaki Kanazawa (8th Dan), holds a pivotal position in the world of Shotokan Karate as the eldest son of the late Soke Hirokazu Kanazawa (10th Dan) and Founder of the Shotokan Karate-Do International Federation (SKIF). Kancho Nobuaki Kanazawa has dedicated his life to upholding the legacy of SKIF, assuming the role of the current head (Kancho) of SKIF Worldwide. His journey in Karate, marked by natural talent and numerous accomplishments, reflects a profound commitment to the martial art.
