January 2008

Welcome to the web site for the Alaska Region of the International Shotokan Karate Federation. ISKF-Alaska, aka Alaska Shotokan Karate. We are a non-profit organization comprised of karate dojos throughout Alaska . We have several Anchorage clubs, as well as locations in Eagle River, Fairbanks, Juneau, Palmer, Bethel and in the village of Gambell located on Saint Lawrence Island in the Bering Sea. Our purpose is to promulgate the practice of traditional shotokan karate from the teachings of Master Gichin Funakoshi, known worldwide as the father of modern karate.

Our region has been a member of ISKF since 1981. Over the years we have hosted many visiting JKA masters including Master Masatoshi Nakayama as part of his 1984 United States tour. This year will be an exciting one for us as we are fortunate in having the following guest instructors come to Alaska:

Master Yutaka Yaguchi - Training and Testing in Anchorage and Juneau (April 25-29)

Master Teruyuki Okazaki and Sensei Cathy Cline - Alaska Camp in Achorage and Juneau (August 14-19)

Please click on this link to our Calendar of Events for the dates.

Thank you for visiting our website, and please e-mail us if you have questions regarding any of our upcoming programs and classes, including our adult and youth programs, our collegiate team and our special self-defense seminars.

Sincerely,

Tony Nakazawa, 6th Dan
Regional Director
