ICKF History Project

The goal of this project is to document all ICKF instructors and dojos, past & present. If you believe the information presented on this page or any other page is incorrect or incomplete, submit an update for review.

Please note: Information in this database should only reflect ranks and titles earned whilst a member of the ICKF (International Chito-Ryu Karate-Do Federation). In the case where an instructor has left the organisation, any rank or title awarded after they left should not be included, as that is outside the scope of this historical project.
