Shotokan Karate Do of United Nations

SKDUN is now one of the biggest Traditional Shotokan Shobu Ippon organisations in the world; it is recognised as being innovative and world leaders in its attitude and approach to making international competition open to everyone. SKDUN holds a European championship in April and a World championship in October every year, it was the 1st to hold a Kohai invitational competition run at the same time as the main events. It was the 1st to hold a Masters competition as an event within the championships, this event is open to 1 male and 1 female competitor from each country who compete performing Kata and Kumite in a knock out event for the title Grand Champion. SKDUN was the 1st to have a 'young' board of directors consisting of younger senior grade karate-ka that shadow the main board to see and understand how business is conducted and with a view to succession in the future. SKDUN will remain a democratic and non-political organisation that listens to its members and improves and grows year on year.
