“As far as possible, I want nothing more than to don my training gi and teach Karate.” Sosai Mas Oyama

The IFK (Kyokushin) was formed in 1992 by Hanshi Steve Arneil (10th Dan) to:

• promote on an international basis the teaching, practice and dissemination of information on Kyokushin karate;
• establish a unified system of kihon, kata and gradings within national organisations;
• provide an International identity to national organisations; establish a centre for the issue of International Dan Grade Certificates and in providing the above, continue to maintain the national countries’ own independence, ideal and philosophy.

IFK South Africa wishes that this website become a resource to help further these ideals.
