The International Shotokan Karate Shinboku Association was formed in Japan

by members of the

Japan Karate Association with the blessing of Mr. N. Nakayama, chief

instructor of the

JKA. And Charles Mack, 7th Dan, chief instructor of the BSKA, was during his

seven year stay in

Japan requested to form a branch of the Shinboku Association in Britain. The

object of the

Shinboku Movement is to bring about a feeling of goodwill between people

through the practice

of Shotokan Karate. The word 'Shinboku' means 'Goodwill', and the Shinboku

movement is

represented in this country by the British Shotokan Karate Association.

  British Shotokan Karate Association

  Affiliated to the Federation of English Karate Organisations

During his stay in Japan Charles Mack was graded to Black Belt 1st Dan by Mr. N. Nakayama Sensei, then chief

instructor of the JKA. Mr. Mack was informed after this promotion that he was the first British person in the world

including Britain, to obtain this SHOTOKAN grade from the JAPAN KARATE ASSOCIATION, at whose dojo in Tokyo

Japan Charles Mack trained for seven years in Shotokan Karate under the guidance of Nakayama Sensei and other

leading Japanese Karate Masters. It is from the JKA that Shotokan Karate originally spread across the world and is

practised in most countries today.
