The USKA rules for tournament competition are still used today in the United States with only slight variation. At its height the USKA had more than a half-million members worldwide and conducted an annual national championship competition in the United States.[2] This competition was called the USKA National Championship in 1966 and became the USKA Grand National Championship in 1968.[1] Trias died in 1989 of cancer, leaving the Shuri-ryu system to his daughter Roberta Trias-Kelley and precipitating a struggle for succession within the USKA.[3] Both John Pachivas, regional USKA director for the Southeastern US, and George E. Anderson (1931-2009), president of the United States Amateur Karate Federation, produced documents naming themselves as Trias' successor.[4] However, Trias-Kelley dissolved the organization in 1999, thus ending the strife.[2] See also{{portal|Karate|Martial arts}}References1. ^1 Corcoran, John and Farkas, Emil.
