BRITISH KARATE KYOKUSHINKAI |
||
|
The Kanku |
||
|
The symbol of Kyokushinkai is the Kanku. The Kanku is derived from the Kanku Kata, sky gazing form. In this Kata the hands are raised to scan the sky and the symbol is formed. The points of the Kanku represent the fingers and imply the ultimates or peaks. The trick sections, represent the wrists and imply power. The centre represents infinity, implying depth. The whole Kanku is based and enclosed by a circle, representing continuity and circular action. |

The International Federation of Karate
was established in 1992 by Hanshi Steve Arneil and has branches
throughout the world. It's purpose is to promote karate on an
international basis whilst still maintaining the individual
countries own ideals, independence and philosophy. The international Federation's badge has as it's central symbol a rising wave. The symbol is taken from Saiha Kata. This wave symbolises the fact that no matter how grate a task or problem before you - with determination and perseverance you can rise and overcome all obstacles. |
