About Japan Karate Association Mauritius

Funakoshi father of Modern Karate
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.


Nakayama
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


Shihan
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.

Our Instructors
Our mission is to teach and promote the traditional Bushido (Code of Samurai) Shotokan Karate with the help of accredited and renowned international experts graduated from the JKA/WF 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.

Our Teaching Philosophy
The primary objective of our Karate Teaching is to develop the mind and spirit of all students from beginners to black belts of all ages whilst putting the emphasis on the JKA core values, which is our Dojo Kun: JKA Mauritius - Karate Mauritius Philosophy
01
Seek perfection
of character
02
Be
sincere
03
Put maximum effort into
everything you do
04
Respect
others
05
Develop
self-control

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.

Karate for Kids

Our Karate teaching for kids is not only fun but also articulated around 3 dimensions:
Mental Development Chiiku

To build concentration, focus, clear thinking and decisiveness.

Moral Development Tokuiku

To improve patience, discipline, perseverance, confidence, self-control, calmness and peace mind.

Physical Development Taiiku

To strengthen the body, heart, muscle and bones to increase resistance to sickness and injury.



In other words, our methodology is geared to help our kids at school and adults at work for developing their concentration, stamina and resiliency during pressure or intense brain or physical activities.

Regular training will provide excellent health condition to Karate practitioners in their day-to-day life.
Our Pedagogy

The Karate Experts of the JKA in Tokyo are continuously improving the teachings and pedagogy by focusing heavily on the inseparable JKA trinity i.e. Kihon (basic techniques), Kata (form) and Kumite (sparring) to develop a rich range of powerful and dynamic techniques.



Kihon
Teaches how to move and
ensures that our technique
is flawless.
Kihon Karate Mauritius
Kumite
Teaches how to concentrate,
and apply techniques for
maximum power.
Kumite Karate Mauritius
Kata
Teaches both at once and opens
the way to unify mind and body,
which is the soul of Karate.
Kata Karate Mauritius

These techniques applied to self-defense are extremely effective and powerful.
