The school’s instructors originally trained at the Hatboro
Area YMCA Karate School located at the Hatboro YMCA in Hatboro under the
tutelage of chief instructor Mr. Andrew P. Jones, 7th degree black
belt. The school was affiliated with the international organization known as
the United States Karate Association (USKA) founded by Mr. Robert A. Trias. In
November of 2002, Mr. Jones retired as the chief instructor of the school, and
the Hatboro Area YMCA Karate School was disbanded.
In January of 2004, several
black belts from the Hatboro Karate School began training at its current
Warrington location. In March of 2004, we officially started the School of
Traditional Karate. In 2005 we became a member school of the USA-Shotokan Karate Federation
(USA-SKF) through
which we continued our training. In 2008 the USA-SKF changed
its name to the
International Union of Karatedo Organizations (IUKO) to reflect
their worldwide membership and reaffirm the commitment to providing a
truly international organization that is free from international
politics and problems. |
