Isshin-Ryu Hall of Fame


“The Isshin-Ryu Hall of Fame (IHOF) is an international event, held annually to honor and recognize outstanding Isshin-Ryu practitioners from around the world for their contributions to the art of Isshin-Ryu Karate regardless of their various association affiliations or dojo memberships. In addition, it provides the opportunity for all Isshin-Ryu practitioners to come together in fellowship, exchange knowledge and ideas, begin new friendships and renew old ones, as well as participate in healthy unbiased competition.”
