SIA Members are an exclusive, close-knit network of national and regional Shotokan organisations, single dojos, and individual practitioners. Members have access to skill development, high-level instruction, technical training, and internationally recognised rank and certification.
Benefits include instructor training and certification, dan and kyu examination and ranking, training camps, on-line resources, peer recognition, competitions and seminars.

Must be a Shotokan style club/group with verifiable JKA-based lineage, willing to meet SIA technical standards, and willing to support SIA activities.
Affiliation
SIA Affiliates compose an interactive consortium of Shotokan groups and individuals with existing, highly recognised technical standards. Affiliation is not competition based and does not require exclusivity of membership.
Benefits include recognition of mutual certification and grades, potential for regional/world camps and seminars, non-politicized interaction with senior instructors, and shared knowledge. SIA Members automatically receive affiliation status.
