SKA’s Nisei Week Exhibition and Tournament started in 1957 when Mr. Tsutomu Ohshima gave the first official demonstration of karate to the American public.

The tradition continues yearly as part of the Nisei Week Japanese Festival, a seventy-year-old celebration of Japanese arts, traditions, games and foods.

For more information about the history of karate at Nisei Week visit “Nisei Week History”

Two members from our Kansas City dojo were chosen to represent the Midwest in this year’s Nisei Week Tournament, Takamasa Morita and Paul Cepe.
