Vision
of ISKU LLC
(Statement of
Mission)
The goal of the
„International Seishinkai Karate Union“ is:
 To be an international platform for open-minded karate-ka of all
major Japanese and Okinawan karate styles. We believe that an individual’s good moral character
and a passion for true karate-do are more important than an affiliation to a karate-style.
To accept people from all countries practicing any
major Japanese or Okinawan karate-style, without discrimination by sex, race, religion or origin of style. Our associated
dojos may maintain contact with their original styles or national organizations, without conflict of interest.
To be a center of traditional karate-do values: training
of kihon and preservation of the traditional kata, education of good human values in the spirit of budo and zen-philosophy,
as well as seeking friendship and harmony among all associated karate-dojos from various countries and cultures.
To organize international karate events on all continents in the context
of a multi-national framework. We will not make karate political and we will not get involved in the politics of national
karate bodies of any styles or sections. Instead, we provide a true alternative for those seeking additional education in
the tradition and true values of karate.
