IKwanmukan Karate is an international organization with headquarters in Akron, Ohio. The International Kwanmukan was founded around 1976 by Hanshi George E. Anderson who started his training in the late 1960s and joined the Akron University Karate Club. After traveling extensively and learning all he could about the martial arts world, he formed the Kwanmukan with his core group of students. He and his students traveled around the world and was integral in the effort to have karate recognized by the Olympic Committee. His students traveled worldwide and competed in the AAU and WKO tournaments and they have had their own students competing at national and international level.
