Shotokan Karate International Australia is an incorporated non-profit organisation, run by it’s Instructors, for the development of their Karate students. The Organisation meets annually at the Shotokan Week seminar, which is held in a different state each year. At the seminar, Karate-ka come together to share knowledge and develop skill. The week culminates with the SKIA, Australian Championships. During the seminar, the National Executive is voted in by it’s members of Instructors and this committee is responsible for SKIA National issues and the general administration of the Association and control of it’s membership and grading fees.
