Join the World General Karate Federation

Joining the World General Karate Federation is an opportunity to become part of a structured karate organisation that supports clubs, coaches, referees, athletes, officials and partner organisations. WGKF welcomes those who share a commitment to respect, standards, development and positive participation.

Membership gives clubs and individuals a clear route into federation activity, including events, communication, official information, member visibility and development opportunities. It also helps connect members with a wider karate network across the UK and beyond.

This page should explain who can join, how the joining process works and what information may be required. It should guide visitors towards membership categories, fees, registration forms and any relevant federation expectations. The clearer the process, the more confident potential members will feel.

WGKF is suitable for karate clubs and organisations that want karate club affiliation with a professional karate federation, as well as referees, coaches and supporters who want to become more involved in organised karate activity.

If you are looking for karate federation membership, club affiliation or a structured way to connect with wider karate opportunities, WGKF provides a clear and welcoming pathway. Use this page to begin your application and take the next step.

MEMBERSHIP FEES:

Annual membership to The World General Karate Federation is €100, which must be settled before your membership is confirmed and your digital certificate is generated. A complimentary federation tie and badge will be provided to the President of your association, which can be collected up at any WGKF-affiliated competition you attend. Alternatively, we can arrange for postal delivery, with the recipient responsible for the postage fees.
