About Japan Karate Association
The Keeper of Karate's Highest Traditions.
The Japan Karate Association (JKA) is the world's most prestigious and historic Shotokan Karate organization. Our branch in Kuwait strictly upholds the values of the JKA World Federation, focusing on the refinement of character through dedicated practice of Kihon, Kata, and Kumite.
JKA Philosophy
Karate is not a game of points, weight classes or showy demonstrations. It is a martial art and way of life that trains a practitioner to be peaceful.
But if conflict is unavoidable, true karate dictates taking down an opponent with a single blow. Such an action requires strength, speed, focus, control. But these physical aspects are only part of the practice; they are just the vehicle, not the journey itself.
“We can perform the techniques without thinking about them, and remain focused without having to concentrate on any one thing. In essence, the body remembers how to move and the mind remembers how to be still.”
