With a lifetime dedicated to the study and preservation of traditional Shotokan Karate, Sensei Ahmad Safi stands among Iran’s most respected senior instructors and a valued member of the WSKF Shihankai.

Beginning his karate journey in 1978, Sensei Safi has devoted more than four decades to training, teaching, and upholding the values of discipline, humility, and wholehearted effort. His technical precision, calm leadership, and unwavering commitment to WSKF standards have shaped generations of Iranian karateka.
