A 501(c)(3) Non Profit Foundation
Bring Okinawan Culture To Life - Right Here In Your Community
Authentic karate, traditional dance, and cultural education for kids, teens, and adults in Varnell, GA.
OUR MISSION
Were Building Better People Through Culture...
The IOCEF is a nonprofit foundation dedicated to one thing: bringing the rich traditions of Okinawa to the West — and using them to build stronger, more grounded individuals.
​
Through karate, traditional dance, drumming, and cultural education, we help children, teens, and adults develop discipline, respect, and a genuine connection to something bigger than themselves.
​
Every dollar we raise goes back into the community — from scholarships and food pantries to Toys for Tots and beyond. We've been doing this work for over 40 years, and we're just getting started.
