Kancho Kenneth Yoshinobu Funakoshi, founder of the Funakoshi Shotokan Karate Association is fourth cousin to Master Gichin Funakoshi – the founder of Modern Shotokan. Kancho Funakoshi moved to San Jose, California to teach karate in December 1986. In 1987, the non-political Funakoshi Shotokan Karate Association was founded with its world headquarters now in Milpitas, CA and affiliates throughout the United States, Mexico, Europe, Africa, Middle East and South America. FSKA was incorporated in 2003 in the state of California. Corporate officers were Kancho Kenneth Funakoshi, Shihan Kyle Funakoshi and Mrs. Theresa Funakoshi … Please click [here] to learn more about FSKA.
FSKA is a non-political organization. Each dojo affiliates directly with Shihan Kyle Funakoshi – we do not have regional directors. The reason for this is to eliminate political structures. Should you decide to affiliate with FSKA, you would deal directly with Shihan Kyle Funakoshi. FSKA recognizes your current rank if issued by a recognized organization. However, once you become an FSKA affiliate, you will need to meet FSKA requirements for future ranking. After affiliation, then a technical support feature via whatsapp messenger is available to ask questions about any technical matters (kihon, kata, kumite, etc) with Shihan Kyle Funakoshi. The video feature enables interaction and learning despite affiliates being overseas. Contact FSKA Executive Secretary, Jan Homer to learn more.
Welcoming our affiliate from Soledad - the Vasquez family! The Vasquez family started out as students over a decade ago under Arimas Sensei, and took it to the next level to becoming instructors themselves at the Soledad community center.
