Saskatchewan Karate Association

The Saskatchewan Karate Association (SKA) was established in 1977 with the aim of promoting and developing Karate as a martial art and sport throughout the province. The Association has brought together a number of systems or styles of Karate that meet the required ethical and technical standards of training and instruction. Our primary mandate is to encourage participation in Karate from a diverse area and population, while standardizing and supervising the quality of Karate instruction throughout the province.

The SKA is dedicated to instructing "Karate-Do, " which is the Karate way, and examining and registering student ranking and other technical qualifications. We sponsor seminars and other events, and develop qualified coaches, instructors, and officials.
