The International Shorin Ryu Karate Kobudo Federation (ISKKF) is recognized as a world wide martial arts organization. The ISKKF is the world leader in organizing and presenting the art of Shorin Ryu Karate to the public. The International Shorin Ryu Karate Kobudo Federation is dedicated to teaching its members and educating the public about Okinawan Shorin Ryu Karate and Kobudo.

The Federation was formed because of an overwhelming interest in Matsumura Shorin Ryu Karate and Kobudo world-wide. Much of the knowledge contained in this traditional style of Okinawa is still unknown to many serious martial artists. Therefore, the federation was formed to popularize Shorin Ryu Karate and Kobudo and to offer an organized curriculum and ranking system to those martial artists interested in developing skill in the arts of Shorin Ryu Karate and the Kobudo Weapon arts of Okinawa. This Federation was also established to preserve Shorin Ryu’s original combativeness and warrior spirit. These are characteristics lacking in many other organizations. The Federation also seeks to foster certain martial virtues in its members and cultivate a spirit upon which to build character, sincerity, perseverance and respect.
