Dear ISKF Family,
It is with great pride and a deep sense of honor that I address you today. As the founder of the International Sports and Karate Federation (ISKF), I am immensely grateful for the opportunity to share my vision and passion for Shotokan Karate with all of you.
My journey in the world of martial arts began many years ago, and it has been a path filled with both challenges and triumphs. I have had the privilege of training under some of the most respected masters in Japan, and their wisdom and guidance have shaped me into the karateka and instructor that I am today.
It is my firm belief that karate is not just a physical discipline, but also a way of life. Through the practice of karate, we learn invaluable life lessons such as discipline, respect, humility, and perseverance. These principles are the foundation upon which ISKF stands, and I am committed to ensuring that they remain at the core of our organization.
ISKF is more than just a federation – it is a family. We come together from different corners of the globe, united by our love for karate and our shared commitment to upholding its traditions. As members of ISKF, we are part of a community that supports and encourages each other, and I am proud to be leading such an incredible group of individuals.
I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to all of you who have supported ISKF over the years. Your dedication and passion for karate inspire me every day, and I am honored to have you as part of our family.
Together, let us continue to embody the spirit of Shotokan Karate-do and strive for excellence in all that we do.
With warmest regards,
Shihan Babul Verma
Founder, International Sports and Karate Federation
