What every karateka learns here

Five principles, taken directly from the Federation's own training charter, guide every dojo affiliated with AIKF.

01

Self Defense

Practical Karate-do technique for real-world protection.

02

Discipline

The dojo's first lesson, carried into everyday life.

03

Respect

For instructors, opponents, and the art itself.

04

Coordination

Mind and body trained to move as one.

05

Courage

On the mat and off it.

Who We Are

India's national home for Karate-do

All Indian Karate Federation is the non-profit national body working to control and propagate the art of Karate across India — in rural and urban areas alike, from grassroots level to elite competition. We work at School, College, University and Corporate level, treating Karate not only as a martial art of self-defense but as a true sport and spiritual discipline.

We're linked with the International Self Defense Organization (ISDO) to promote Karate as a self-defense technique nationwide, and our competitions follow the officiating standards of the World Karate Federation.
