Statement:
Honbu Dojo – South Australia, and its senior members, have a thirty year history with the Japan Karate Association (JKA).
We are very proud of this history.
Unanimously, our senior members and Instructors, wish to express our disappointment in the recent behaviour displayed by representatives of the private company that is ‘JKA Australia Pty Ltd’.
This behaviour is not consistent with our core values.
In the interest of preserving our relationship with the Japan Karate Association, we wish to distance our group from this behaviour .
In doing so, we wish to make it known, that we have applied to JKA Headquarters, in Japan, to continue our membership with the Japan Karate Association, separate from JKA Australia Pty Ltd.
We will not be renewing our memberships with JKAA Pty Ltd.
JKA members, from within Australia, that wish to seek further information regarding our decision, are encouraged to contact our office as a matter of priority:
