ISKF Fall Camp 2007
Over 200 Karate Ka (a term of Japanese origin referring to a person who practices karate) emerged on Camp Green Lane near Philadelphia to hone in on their skills and techniques. Sensei Dino Capestrani and Sempi Kelly Capestrani had the great pleasure to receive training from Sensei Teruyuki Okazaki Chairman & Chief Instructor of ISKF Regional Director of East Coast Region Rank: 9th Dan (Kyu Dan)

Along with Funakoshi and Nakayama, Okazaki helped found the JKA Instructor training program. Sensei Teruyuki Okazaki studied primarily under Gichin Funakoshi (Shotokan's founder) as well as Masatoshi Nakayama. In 1953, Okazaki graduated and was immediately appointed coach of the Takushoku team. Later that year, it was decided that Okazaki would be trained as a "test case" for the still formulating JKA Instructor Trainee Program. In 1955, he was appointed head of the program, which produced some of modern Shotokan's most integral leaders. As part of an effort by Nakayama to spread the practice of Shotokan karate internationally, Okazaki came to the United States in 1961, originally planning to stay only six months, but has since opened a dojo in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and setteled there permanently. In 1977, Okazaki founded the International Shotokan Karate Federation.
