Karate school
We are a very close knit unique dynamic and fully democratic international Martial Arts brotherhood who’s sole vision and purpose is to simply unite all races, young and old as well as all sexes together as one through the implementation of the true traditional regimented aspects of classical Bushido and spiritual concepts of the Zen Way.
We are not interested in any Martial Arts politics whatsoever and we thus encourage practitioners, organizations, federations, associations, unions or dojo’s to join hands together with us in spreading our vision of the Martial Arts throughout the globe.
A powerful force
Eksteen’s hardcore approach towards his practitioners has led the organization into a league completely on its own as far as sport karate and the competitive arena is concerned. Eksteen stands very firmly by his traditional Buddhist beliefs as well as at the same time, his strict extreme military regimented method whereby has seen his organization operate very successfully leading on to greater height throughout the world, since the dojo honbu was established in 1999.
Our Honbu is based in Polokwane, Limpopo, South Africa and is headed by it’s founder and world president 8th Dan Grandmaster Henri Eksteen Soke. Grandmaster Eksteen has 37 years of intense experience within the field of Martial Arts. Furthermore, he is one of the very few, still existing, elite members of the SA National Defense force Karate team from the early 80′s era who’s teaching’s are soley based on the “old way” strict extremely disciplined military approach; – “My way or the highway – don’t like it, get out!”
