Get your dojo, state unit, or institutional team on the official World Karate Federation pathway. We are the only recognized body in India for authentic affiliation, championship access, and verified international grading.

The official logo of the Karate India Organisation (KIO). This symbol represents the sole authentic and WKF-recognized national federation for karate in India.

The KIO logo, a mark of authenticity. We have over 33 affiliated state units and more than 435 associate member style chiefs, making us the largest official karate body in the country.

I am pleased to announce that the KIO logo is now a registered trademark with the Government of India, further protecting our official status and preventing misuse.

About The Official Path: KIO Affiliation

If you are training students without recognized credentials, their hard work often hits a dead end when trying to qualify for state or national championships. We handle the official WKF-standard affiliation, national database registration, and rule-compliant certification so your fighters have a clear, valid path to represent the country.
