		In England there are former JKA groups who have formed their own orgs and offshoots from them.
		Some are connected with one JKA in Japan, others with the "newer" one and those with no affiliation.
		I feel the best karate is taught when the instructor does not need to make a living off the teaching, but only does it for the love of the art and wanting to pass on the knowledge gained in the true spirit of karatedo.

	WUKO vs. IAKS (ITKF), the battle for Olympic Recognition
		Eventually, the university groups decided to withdraw from the JKA and reform on one hand Shotokai, where Master Funakoshi was the president until his death and the All-Japan University Karate League under the leadership of Isao Obata.
		The JKA considered the aggressive development and expansion of karate training to be a vital part of its practice program; "technical progress" were its watchwords.
		One of the clear differences between the JKA's shotokan and Ohshima's university-based version is the incontrovertible fact that the JKA teaches kata that are not the same as Funakoshi's because of these adjustments.
