The Japan Karate Association (JKA) was established in May 1949, with Gichin Funakoshi as the formal Head of the organisation and Masatoshi Nakayama as Chief Instructor. In 1956 Nakayama assisted by Teruyuki Okazaki re-structured the shotokan training programme, to follow both traditional methods and modern sports science. Satori Ryu take reference from JKA training methods and direction - IT AINT BUST, WE DON'T PRESUME WE SHOULD FIX IT.
Intellegent karate for adults.
