Welcome to the IUKO formerly known as the USA Shotokan Karate Federation!!   Due to our tremendous growth and overwhelming International response we decided to reflect our growth in a new name. We would like to congratulate you for looking at our website. You will find plenty of information here and we hope that it will whet your appetite and encourage you to come and join us. We pride ourselves on being innovative. We are are group of like minded karateka with some of the senior most International Shotokan Karate Instructors. We are also proud to take an ecclectic approach to our martial art.

We are proud to have a relationship with Hanshi Patrick McCarthy (8th Dan) and his International Ryukyu Karatejutsu Research Society. We are also proud to host Sensei McCarthy a world renowned karateka, author and historian at our dojo/organizational events. We also have a close working relationship as well with Dr. Milorad V. Stricevic, founder of Scientific Karate Institute International Ltd., SKILL.

We have infused our study of Shotokan karate with the work of Hanshi Patrick McCarthy and his (IRKRS). We are now finally able to see the roots of the traditions we practice on a daily basis.   With the addition of McCarthy Sensei's knowledge and insight, we are able to bring our students a deeper understanding of the original meanings for our kata and the defensive themes they recreate. In July of 2003, Sensei McCarthy chose our karate school to be Shibucho (representative) Dojo for the International Ryukyu Karatejutsu Research Society (IRKRS) and Koryu Uchinadi.

We welcome all inquiries. Feel free to contact us at any time or stop by the club. For more information please check out the site in its entirety. 856-589-3818
