Since 1995
The purpose of karate training is to learn self-defense, self-reliance, respect (for oneself and others), and character enrichment. Karate is emphasized as a martial art rather than a competitive sport. Achieve confidence and practical expertise, without intimidation or hostility. Safety is paramount! Learning from and helping each other, as well as using skills effectively and with good judgment, is the true art of karate.

HANSHI
10th DAN
BEIKOKU SHIDOKAN FOUNDER
Passed
away at age 92
1932-2024
On August 3, 2024, Grand Master SEIKICHI IHA,
Hanshi 10th
Dan, passed away peacefully in his home surrounded by his children and
many friends. Words fail me to adequately express the incredible
sadness and empty feeling I have, learning of the death of my beloved
teacher Sensei Iha. Sensei Iha was a world renowned teacher of
teachers, legendary master of karate whose
memory and legacy will live on in the karateka and their
students/descendants
who loved, respected and admired him. The impact he made on the
martial arts world is immeasurable. But
even more significant, he was a loving father, brother and son, as well
as an
esteemed mentor and treasured friend to countless men and women on a
global
level. I had the honor and privilege to
have even known him but also the great fortune to have been his
student, devotee
and friend for 35 years.
