The USA branch of the Wado International Karate-Do Federation (WIKF) was established by Suzuki Sensei to maintain the highest technical standards as defined and characterized by the WIKF syllabus. The WIKF syllabus is the basis for the curriculum taught in all WIKF member dojo around the world. The USA branch of the WIKF is dedicated to honoring the philosophical and technical legacy of Wado-Ryu karate as taught by Tatsuo Suzuki, Hanshi. All of our dojo must be places where the participants are learning pure Wado technique; the act of learning itself is valued; the establishment of a sense of friendship and cooperation; the adherence to common values, traditions, procedures; and the underlying sense of orderliness and commitment to a common purpose.
