Welcome to the Kokusai Wado Renmei (International Wado Federation)

Are you tired of the constant politics of multi-style or sport-karate governing bodies? Do you feel your fees vanish into a black hole or into the pockets of committee members?

Here at the International Wado Federation, we prioritise Wado Karate and its practitioners above all.

You can maintain your independence, manage your own affairs, and enjoy an insurance package and enhanced DBS checks that fully covers your instructors and more!

Why choose the International Wado Federation?

  • Purely Wado Karate Focus: We are loyal to the Wado style, not to multi-style politics.
  • Freedom & Autonomy: Keep control of your club or group while benefiting from our optional facilities.
  • Non-Commercial Approach: We don’t charge for membership. You only pay for services you choose to use.
  • Recognition & Support: As the only National Governing Body recognized by the International Wado Federation, we unite Wado Karate practitioners across England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland, and the British Isles.

No Fees to Join—Only Pay for What You Use!

We do not charge for affiliation membership. Whether you’re a 1st Dan or higher, and 18 years or older, teaching Wado Karate at your own club, the International Wado Federation could be the next step on your Wado journey.

Join us in supporting and preserving Wado Karate. Say no to the politics and confusion of multi-style governing bodies and embrace a purer path.

The International Wado Federation is the only World Governing Body for Wado that considers all legitimate Wado variant groups and federations into membership.
