Isshin-Ryu Okinawa Traditional Karate-Do Association

Pictured above are several IOTKA board members attending Master Uechi's Seminar during his August 2010 visit.

Uechi Sensei Welcomes You!


      It is Tsuyoshi Uechi Sensei's sincere desire that we associate as brothers in Karate-Do.  He understands that no organization will survive without guidance and leadership.  He also recognizes that an organization must have good order and discipline.  This allows us all to enjoy the benefits and heritage of the IOTKA. 

     The purpose of the association is to promote "friendship" among all members, to ensure the preservation and unity of traditional Isshin-Ryu Karate-Do for future generations, and to teach and encourage all members to be an honest person with a strong spirit and body through the teachings of those who have gone before.

Hanshi Tsuyoshi Uechi, Founder and President of the IOTKA
