International Memberships

WOSKKA often receives membership requests from people who are not practicing a Shorin based style or an Okinawan system of Kobudo, which is a WOSKKA membership requirement.  We do, however welcome those who meet the WOSKKA membership criteria from all over the world.  Listed below are some of the people from abroad that have requested and received WOSKKA membership.
