Shotokan Karate-do International Federation Cagayan Valley Chapter

SATURDAY TRAINING!👊🏻

Train until confidence replaces doubt. 🥋
Every repetition, every correction, and every challenge faced in training is a step forward. Progress isn't about being perfect—it's about showing up consistently and refusing to quit. Trust the process, stay disciplined, and let your hard work speak louder than your fears.

Messeage us!

We didn’t come to participate, we came to dominate. And we did!

Through sweat, pain, and relentless discipline, we rose above every match and claimed the title of OVERALL CHAMPION and MOST NUMBER OF ENTRIES in the recently concluded 1st Mayor's Cup Karate-do Championship last April 25,2026 at Sta ana, Cagayan.

Every strike carried our determination. Every match tested our limits.
This is the result of sacrifice, unity, and an unshakable karate spirit.To everyone who stood behind us,this triumph is yours too.

Behind every strong fighter is an even stronger support system.

We extend our deepest gratitude to all the parents who stood with us throughout this Karate tournament journey. Your unwavering support, sacrifices, and trust have played a vital role in the success of our athletes.
This achievement is not only theirs, it is yours as well.

We’re not done. This is just the beginning.
Stronger. Faster. Unstoppable SKIF!
Osu! 👊🔥
