Greetings!
It is with sincere pride that I welcome all of you to our 55th Annual East Coast Shotokan Karate Championship. The pride is in the dedicated instructors and members of the East Coast Region who over many years have contributed to the strong foundation as headquarters to our national and international organization – the International Shotokan Karate Federation. Our organization now spans to over 65 countries world-wide and continues to grow. This could not have been possible without all of you, our East Coast members who set the example of what a traditional Shotokan organization is which is the reason so many people want to be part of the ISKF.
As Grand Master Teruyuki Okazaki always said, tournaments are a special training. Being a competitor myself for many years I personally understand the need to test your skill and also the comradery that comes along with tournament participation. Do your personal best at all times, not just in a competition, but also in the dojo and in your everyday life. This is what the Dojo Kun is all about.
I’d like to extend my gratitude the Mr. Joseph Faracchio, Chief Instructor of the Glenside Shotokan Karate Club, Ms. Meena Nandlal and all of the East Coast tournament staff for hosting this event.
Best of luck to all the competitors, officials, and host for a successful, spirited event.
Sincerely,
Hiroyoshi Okazaki Chairman & Chief Instructor International Shotokan Karate Federation
