To this end, training seminars and training camps are conducted around the world by Higaonna Sensei each year, as well as by many of his senior students. Because of the great dedication and determination of Higaonna Sensei and other senior members, the IOGKF now has approximately 50,000 affiliated members in over 50 nations around the world. <\/p>\n<p>The IOGKF is one of the few Karate organizations that the Japanese Government recognizes as a true Japanese Traditional Martial Arts Organization.
