San Diego Peninsula Shotokan Karate is part of Shotokan Karate of America (SKA). SKA is a non profit organization that has been teaching karate in the USA since 1955. The founder of SKA, Tsutomo Ohshima, was one of the last students of Master Funakoshi, widely recognized as the father of modern karate and responsible for bringing the art from Okinawa to Japan in 1922. Mr. Ohshima still leads SKA from his home and central dojo on a beautiful hilltop in Santa Barbara.
