Founded in 1963, we train and test under the South Atlantic Karate Association (SAKA), a division of the International Shotokan Karate Federation (ISKF). ISKF is the international representative of the Japan Karate Association/World Federation (JKA/WF). The Karate Club at USF is headed by instructor Eric Holden, 3rd Dan, JKA. Mr. Holden has been involved with Shotokan Karate at USF for over ten years. He also teaches the college-credit beginner and intermediate karate classes as well as the self-defense class offered by the University. F e a t u r e s    Want to build a Makiwara?
