JKA World Karate Championships 2027

The 17th Funakoshi Gichin Cup is the Japan Karate Association's world championship, named in honour of Gichin Funakoshi, the founding father of modern Shotokan karate. Hosted in Japan, the birthplace of Shotokan, it brings kihon, kata and kumite competitors together under the JKA banner.

The poster announces 64 participating countries — from Japan, Pakistan and India to Brazil, Germany, South Africa and the USA — united for one tournament. For Aji-Do students, it is a living reminder of where our syllabus comes from and the standard we train toward every class.

Our Lineage

The JKA Legacy.

In 1922, Gichin Funakoshi — the father of modern karate — carried Okinawan te to mainland Japan and reshaped it into a way of life: karate-dō. His twenty precepts turned a fighting art into a discipline of character.

In 1948, his senior student Masatoshi Nakayama founded the Japan Karate Association (JKA) to preserve and systematize that teaching — building the world's foremost Shotokan institution, standardizing gradings, and codifying the kihon, kata and kumite methodology that serious dojos still train by today.

Aji-Do World Federation stands in that lineage. Our gradings, kata syllabus and kumite training follow JKA standards — the same precision Funakoshi demanded and Nakayama built an institution upon.

The ultimate aim of karate lies not in victory or defeat, but in the perfection of the character of its participants.
