About SKF - The Shukokai Karate Federation

The Shukokai Karate Federation (SKF) was formed in 1980 by Chief Instructor Shihan Eddie Daniels 9th Dan, who was one of the most respected pioneer Karate teachers in the country.

Shihan Daniels (1949-2020) came from the old school of karate and was part of the golden pioneer generation of karate when karate was fresh in the UK back in the 1960s. He has never lost the basic fundamentals of martial art which is important for the ultimate test in character, to aim to become the ultimate Martial Artist.

Keeping to the roots of karate but with a modern approach, it is no surprise that Shihan Daniels and the SKF is still around today constantly developing and growing the style of Kimura Shukokai, from who he follows the teachings of his late master, Soke Shigeru Kimura 10th Dan (1941-1995).
