We are open to anyone who wants to learn okinawan karate and kobudo. If it is an individual, a club, or a foreign organization, our doors are open. Our way of teaching is based on passing information, skills, and knowledge from the master to his trainees. By organizing seminars for our trainers, we ensure unity in our training program. We believe that any candidate who can accept and understand our teaching methods will find a place in our program.

The vision of SFOKK is to connect all enthusiasts, trainees, sponsors, and supporters of karate in Slovakia with mutual understanding and acceptance of exceptional individuals and groups in order to obtain a bigger presence and respect of Slovakian traditional karate worldwide. We can reach this goal if we unite and become supportive of each other in our teaching and learning.
