Building Stronger People. Stronger Families. Stronger Communities.
The American SoKarate Federation (ASF) was established in November 15th, 2021, when Hanshi Andrew Reynoff arrived in the United States from Europe to make America his permanent home.
Today, the American SoKarate Federation serves as the official representative of the World SoKarate Federation in the United States, bringing together instructors, dojos, students, and representatives across several states.
OUR MISSION
The mission of the American SoKarate Federation goes far beyond teaching martial arts.
We believe that Karate can be a powerful educational tool for developing strong, confident, responsible, and respectful individuals.
Our particular focus is on children and young people. Through structured training, positive mentorship, discipline, and teamwork, we strive to help the next generation develop not only physical strength and practical self-defense skills, but also character, courage, self-control, respect for others, and a sense of personal responsibility.
We believe that true strength is measured not only by what a person can do physically, but also by the values that guide their decisions and actions.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
The American SoKarate Federation promotes the balanced development of body, mind, and character.
We stand for timeless human values:
Respect • Discipline • Family • Responsibility • Courage • Integrity • Compassion
Our goal is to create a positive environment where children and adults can become healthier, stronger, more confident, and better prepared for the challenges of everyday life.
Karate, in our philosophy, is not simply a sport.
It is education through martial arts.
OUR VISION
Our vision is to build a nationwide network of professional SoKarate dojos and community programs throughout the United States, making quality martial arts education accessible to children, teenagers, adults, and families from different social and cultural backgrounds.
We seek to work together with local communities, schools, businesses, nonprofit organizations, civic leaders, and sponsors who share our belief in investing in healthier, stronger, and more responsible future generations.
Every new dojo, instructor, community program, and partnership brings us one step closer to that goal.
Together, we build stronger people — and stronger communities.
