"True karate is this: that in daily life one's mind and body be trained and developed in a spirit of humility, and that in critical times, one be devoted utterly to the cause of justice."

 - Gichin Funakoshi
 
 
"Originally this was the most important thing about martial arts - to reach a higher level, to become a strong human being. Strong doesn't mean big arms. It means who can be a more strict human being with himself. That is the ideal of martial arts."
 
 - Tsutomu Ohshima

Shotokan Karate of America adheres to the original 5 degrees of blackbelt set forth by Master Funakoshi. To compare levels with other styles/organizations find the highest degree of that style possible and consider that as equal to 5th dan in SKA. Obtaining any black belt rank in SKA is a highly quality controlled matter only done under the direction of Mr.Tsutomu Oshima, Shihan and founder of SKA.
