Membership

SIA Members are an exclusive, close knit network of national and regional Shotokan organisations, single dojos, and individual Shotokan practitioners.

Members who join us, come with a desire to enhance, build on, and upon expand the technical and philosophical foundations of the JKA style of Shotokan karate.

The benefits of membership includes, but are not limited to: instructor training and certification, dan and kyu examination and ranking, training camps, on-line instructor and training resources, peer recognition, competitions and seminars.

Members benefit from access to technical and organisational guidance and support from  regional senior instructors and advisors.

Criteria for Membership:

• Must be Shotokan style club or group and be able to verify lineage to JKA based instruction

• Must be willing to meet or exceed technical standards as set by SIA

• Must be willing to support SIA activities whenever possible

Affiliation

SIA Affiliates compose an interactive consortium of Shotokan groups and individuals with recognised existing highly technical standards. Unlike other multi-association karate organisations, the Affiliation is not competition based and does not require exclusivity of membership.

Benefits of affiliation include: recognition of mutual certification and grades, the potential for regional/world Shotokan camps and seminars, non-politicized interaction with senior instructors and students from a variety of recognized organisations, and the limitless value of shared knowledge.

Please note that SIA Members automatically receive affiliation status.

Criteria for affiliation:

• Must be Shotokan style club or group and be able to verify lineage to JKA based instruction
