Your association for traditional Shitoryu Karate

Welcome to I.S.K.U.

Welcome to the official website of the International Shitoryu Karate Union (I.S.K.U). My name is Kyoshi Athula Minithanthri. I started this non-political and non-profit organization for different reasons. The main concern is to help and support coaches, teachers and masters of Shito-ryu from all over the world in teaching and imparting Shito-ryu knowledge. Another important reason that goes along with this is the general improvement of Shitoryu karate knowledge. That’s why I want to invite all of you Shitoryu sensei to join this association, regardless of race, religion or origin.
