About IASK INDIA
The International Academy of Shotokan Karate-Do (IASK) is a distinguished institution dedicated to the promotion and preservation of the ancient martial art of Shotokan Karate. Founded in the year 2012 by the visionary martial artist Sensei Ravindra Kumar, IASK has grown to become a prominent member of the prestigious "Shotokan Karate-Do International Federation Japan (SKIF Japan)."

At IASK, we embrace the principles of discipline, respect, and continuous self-improvement, in keeping with the rich tradition of this revered martial art.
One of the driving forces behind the establishment of IASK was the invaluable suggestion of Soke Hirokazu Kanazawa, a living legend in the world of martial arts, holding the esteemed rank of 10th Dan. Sensei Ravindra Kumar's close association with Soke Kanazawa reflects his commitment to upholding the highest standards of Shotokan Karate.
IASK proudly boasts a growing network of branches across India, each led by dedicated instructors who share our passion for Karate. These branches serve as hubs for learning, growth, and camaraderie, where students of all ages and backgrounds come together to train, forge lasting friendships, and foster a sense of unity through Karate.
One of our hallmark events is the annual invitation extended to Japanese master instructors from SKIF HQ to provide world-class training and conduct Black Belt Dan Grading Examinations. This tradition ensures that our members receive the most authentic and advanced training, directly from the source, further enhancing their skills and knowledge.
