Sensei Funakoshi is the father of Modern Karate. As a retired schoolteacher he has foundered the Shotokan Karate style and the Japan Karate Association (JKA) by putting much emphasis on the pedagogy. He was born on Nov 10, 1868 in Okinawa and was of Samurai lineage.
Gichin Funakoshi and Nakayama Sensei established officially the JKA organization in 1948 with the main objective to train true Karate Masters who will in turn teach Karate as a “Way of Life”. The JKA is the original, oldest and largest Shotokan Karate organization in the world
The JKA is the only legal entity officially approved by the Japanese Government as an association of members of public interest for the promotion of Karate.
Today, the JKA World Federation (JKA/WF) is the largest and most prestigious Shotokan Karate organization in the world (present in more than 122 countries) and is presently headed by Shuseki Shihan Masaaki Ueki Sensei 9th Dan.
The JKA Mauritius is registered (no 15316) under the provision of the Association Act) and is officially a branch of JKA/WF (Ref: MUS-1). We encompass more than 20 Training Centers and 35 instructors covering all regions of Mauritius whilst following strictly the syllabus, program, rules and regulations of JKA in Tokyo.
The Chief Instructor of JKA Mauritius is Shihan Koichiro Okuma 7th Dan who is also the Vice President of the Foreign Affairs Division of JKA/WF. Shihan Okuma is a very well known and recognized International Instructor.
As such, the Shotokan Karate legacy and lineage of JKA Mauritius is very pure and take its source at the origin since Sensei Funakoshi was the instructor of Nakayama who in turn was the instructor of both Naka Sensei and Okuma Sensei.
The Chairman of JKA Mauritius is Dr. Didier Samfat 4th Dan and is responsible for coordinating all JKA Shotokan karate activities for Mauritius thanks to the help of all benevolent members.
The Young Generation of the JKA Mauritius Family
The experts in Japan have scientifically analyzed and isolated each individual movement, position and kinetic to develop an unrivalled spectrum of basic techniques.
In so doing, the JKA/WF in Tokyo has defined the perfect Syllabus and Program for both color and black belts of all ages to allow the body and the mind to act effortlessly and naturally thanks to constant and regular repetition of training.
As such all Instructors of JKA Mauritius, in every training session, follow the JKA Syllabus whilst having constantly the Dojo Kun in mind.
To build concentration, focus, clear thinking and decisiveness.
To improve patience, discipline, perseverance, confidence, self-control, calmness and peace mind.
To strengthen the body, heart, muscle and bones to increase resistance to sickness and injury.
These techniques applied to self-defense are extremely effective and powerful.
