We, people who love and practice the universal way of
karate, have created an entirely new kind of organisation, the Karate no
Michi (Way of Karate) World Federation, as a place for mutual
study that will serve to deepen our friendship. This is not a style
of karate. We want it to function as a dojo in which everybody can
freely participate and practice self-study. In this manner we, with
everybody's help, hope to develop a new creative approach in our pursuit
of the karate way.YAHARA Mikio Chief Instructor Supreme Technical Director |
