Shotokai's history in Chile started officially in 1974, after receiving direct
authorization from Master Sodo
Kawanabe, in Japan. In 1986, the Shotokai de Chile Organization was founded,
at that moment it established it's Hombu
Dojo in Concepcion, Chile, a city 500 km. south of Santiago, the capital.
In 1990 the Universidad de Concepcion Shotokai Karate Budo group is created, and
in 1994 the Universidad del Biobio Karate Shotokai group started its activities.
At the moment Shotokai de Chile is in direct contact with Shotokai Kawanabe in
Japan and Kumayama Shotokai in USA.
During it's
existence, Shotokai, has grown little by little, in Concepcion and to other
parts of Chile, thus promoting the following of the Budo philosophy in different
parts of the country.
