Honoring the Rhythmic Spirit of Okinawa
Preserving the archival legacy of Okinawan culture through dance, music, language, etiquette and karate for a thriving global community.
Rooted in Ryukyuan History
The International Okinawan Cultural Education Foundation is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit foundation operating globally to ensure our cultural heartbeat is never silenced. Through iocef okinawa initiatives, we protect these artisanal practices through authentic archives and active dojo instruction, creating a bridge between the ancient wisdom of Okinawa and practitioners around the world. IOCEF Okinawa is also very active in our local community, supporting food pantries, clothing closets, ®Toys for Tots, and more.
