About the NSKA History
Although martial arts have been studied for hundreds of years, they have been taught by example, from teacher to student. Each student added his own flavor to the teachings of his sensei. Eventually the art developed into different styles. Because of their common beginnings, all styles have a common thread binding them together. The Nova Scotia Karate Association was founded on February 28, 1975, by people from various walks of life - and styles of karate - whose main interest was promoting unity among these styles. They knew that through unity they could better promote this martial art, expand participation and improve the quality of karate in Nova Scotia.
