Welcome to the 2019 IKD World Camp and thank you in advance for your support! This year’s camp is in a new location at Jacksons Point in beautiful Georgina, Ontario. It is about one-hour drive north of Toronto. Unfortunately, Camp White Pine in Haliburton was unavailable for the dates we wanted; hosting early in June would have been too cold. When I began my karate journey as a boy of 14 years old in 1964, I never dreamed or imagined that 55 years later, I would become the leader of perhaps, the fastest growing traditional karate organization in the world that in the span of seven years, IKD would be in 70 regions in 50 countries. I also did not dream I would have the honour and privilege of training in Japan, and as well, training under Japanese masters for over 40 years with: Masatoshi Nakayama, Teruyuki Okazaki, Hidetaka Nishiyama, Yutaka Yaguchi, and all other legendary JKA Masters like Suigura, Ito, Shoji, Kanazawa, Mikami, Enoeda, Ueki, Osaka, Yahara, Takashina, Koyama, Ochi, and many others. IKD is proud to announce another innovative and exciting programme for this year’s camp! This is another example for other organizations to emulate for years to come. IKD Distinguished Awards will be presented to members and friends who are nominated by their regional director or chief instructor for exceptional achievement and service to karate and the IKD. There are five levels of Awards: 1. Lifetime of Excellence Award. 2. Lifetime of Achievement Award. 3. Lifetime of Service Award. 4. IKD Hall of Fame Induction. 5. National or Regional Medal of Service. The first four Awards are at the International level and the fifth, at the National level. This means the International awards are only presented at World Camp or World Cup. Candidates are to be nominated by their regional director or chief instructor and they shall be a Member of the IKD Distinguished Awardees Association. There is a one-time registration fee with “Benefits of Membership”. On Saturday immediately after dinner, awardees will gather next door at the Norman Boyle Auditorium for the formal award ceremony and gala. Dress is formal. These Awards are unique: They can be detached from the ribbon, as well as the base, and can be worn around the neck, displayed at home or the office as a centerpiece, or mounted on the wall. It comes with a beautiful IKD diploma, similar to our dan diploma.

International Karate Daigaku Distinguished Awards The Phoenix rising from the ashes in the “National Medal of Service Award”, represents 40 years of loyal service I gave my Japanese Masters until my resignation in 2011 with a broken heart and spirit. With the help of true and loyal friends, I rose again from the ashes to head the fastest growing karate organization in the world that in seven short years, IKD is represented in 70 regions in 50 countries worldwide. The Hall of Fame Award is a prototype; the final medal will look like the National Medal of Service. Rather than using a static immobile building to represent the “Hall of Fame Award”, I chose the world-famous “Kaieteur Falls” found deep in the Guyana Amazon to symbolize the Hall of Fame. Kaieteur Falls is the world’s largest single drop waterfall by the volume of water flowing over it. Its river is the “path or hall” that leads to the falls through the dense Amazon Rainforest. In karate, the important concept “A Mind Like Water” has its own symbolic interpretation of the “way” of karate. Water, in its calm state, symbolizes mental clarity, and in its thundering state, represents the power of karate. Moreover, the open hand symbolizes the meaning of the word karate – empty hand, no weapons. The other three Awards will feature Shuseki Shihan and Fuku Shuseki Shihan(s) performing their favourite techniques with their Chinese Zodiac animal birth signs in the background - the Tiger, Dragon and Horse.
