National JKA style organizations

Email

The Main Line Japanese Organizations are the JKA, JKS, JSKA and KWF;
Shadan Hojin Nihon Karate Kyokai (JKA Nakahara), former Shadan Hojin Nihon Karate Kyokai (JKA Asai)
which is now Budo Shadan Nihon Karate Shotokai (JKS Asai) also Karate no Michi Sekai Renmei (KWF Yahara),
and Japan Shotokan Karate Association (JSKA Abe).

Shotokan Karate International Federation has a large and dedicated following around the world.  The SKIF under Hirokazu Kanazawa must be considered a main line Japanese organization, while there are some minor differences they follow closely the JKA Shotokan style.
