He has strived for many years to provide his students with official and worldly-recognized training, to improve the standard of each of his students. Later on, he opened branches in Sri Lanka and India to further establish official associations of Isshinryu Karate and provide official certification to all the students. Over the years, he opened more and more branches to spread true and official Isshinryu throughout the UK, Sri Lanka and India. In 2019, he hosted the Isshinryu World Karate Championships in London-UK, where he united the IWKA and WUKF for the first time, after seeing the different clubs standing together he envisioned a Federation that joins all different styles together in the name of Karate. He dreamed of amalgamating the different karate styles and clubs with friendly and beneficial means to promote true and official karate around the world, providing every student with better quality training, including various tournaments and seminars; from here GKF was born.
