Wadokai Southwest's Affiliation
Wadokai Southwest is part of the British Wadokai Karate Federation (BWK), which has foundations established in 1976.
The BWK is itself affiliated to the English Karate Federation (EKF) - the National Governing Body for Karate in england, which is amember of the World Karate Federation (WKF) and the International Olympic Committee.
As a member of Wadokai Southwest you are automatically affiliated, amongst others, to the British Wadokai Karate-do Federation and then in turn to the English Karate Federation. This provides the opportunity to attend specialist training courses held by highly respected instructors and enter many competitions if you wish to compete.
For the most able and committed there is the chance to join the British Wadokai Kata and Kumite squads and represent the BWK to compete nationally. Ultimately, for the very best (from the age of 10), we provide a training path to the England Squads where you could represent England throughout the world.
