ISKF

Under Teruyuki Okazaki, Takashina was a founding member of the International Shotokan Karate Federation along with Takayuki Mikami, Yutaka Yaguchi and Shojiro Koyama. In June 2007, the ISKF made the decision to leave the JKA. Yaguchi continued his affiliation with the ISKF, however, the other founding Masters decided to remain with the JKA and formed the JKA World Federation - America (JKA/WF).
