Our Mission
SRKDI is a global association of Okinawan karate dojos and practitioners dedicated to preserving and evolving traditional karate. We honor tradition while embracing growth through shared training, practice, and insights. By studying Kata along with its form and function, we deepen our understanding of karate’s practical applications. We believe tradition thrives when it evolves with each practitioner, ensuring that Okinawan karate remains strong, relevant, and vibrant for future generations.
