We are pleased to launch this official website for the 11th Shotokan Karate-do International Federation (SKIF) World Congress and Championships to be held from the 19th to the 24th of November 2012.
We look forward to welcoming Master Hirokazu Kanazawa (Head of SKIF, President and Supreme Instructor), the Executive Members of SKIF, Instructors and the elite of SKIF competitors from all around the world and their supporters to our great city of Sydney, an international gateway to all the wonders of the continent of Australia.
"Karate is what has given me hope throughout my life. It is the teacher that has guided me to where I am now. Still, I sometimes have dreams about being assailed by someone. This tells me that there is still a part of me that has an attachment to life, and that I have a way to go yet."
"The more I know, the more I climb, yet the mountain just gets higher. The more I try, the more I focus, the depth is limitless. There is no end in sight. That is karate, my life."
