The Manitoba Karate Association (MKA) was founded in 1969 by Mr. Richard (Tug) Wilson and registered in March, 1974.

Karate Manitoba (formerly MKA) has been a member of Sport Manitoba for almost 30 years as the Sports Governing Body for Karate in the province. 

Karate Manitoba is a non-style organization, respecting the rights of legitimate karate groups to participate within the organization.  Its goal is to promote and develop the art of Karate in Manitoba.

Shotokan, Shito, Wado, Goju, Kyokushin-Kai, and Chito make up the major different karate systems in the world.  All of these systems are recognized by Karate Manitoba and have been members of this association since its inception 30 years ago.

The Manitoba Karate Association (MKA) was founded in 1969 by Mr. Richard (Tug) Wilson.  Mr. Wilson retired from teaching martial arts in 1977 with the ranks of 4^th Dan in both Karate and Judo.

The MKA has grown from a membership of 3-4 clubs to clubs in all of the seven Regional Sport Zones in Manitoba (almost 600 members).

The word Karate means, "empty hand."  Traditional karate is an art that uses only the human body as the weapon of self defense.  With it's increase in popularity, interest in holding competitions has grown.  Karate Manitoba sanctions local, regional, and provincial tournaments.  Competitors go on to represent Manitoba nationally and internationally.
