About EKF Membership
At the heart of the EKF are our members – the English karate associations and clubs who come together to support, protect, and strengthen traditional karate across England.
The EKF is not a National Governing Body.
We are a membership-based organisation, operating as a Community Interest Company (CIC).
This means our purpose is simple: to serve our members, reinvest in the karate community, and ensure that athletes, coaches, clubs, and associations have a fair, supportive, and transparent structure behind them.
Whether you are a long-standing association or a new club wishing to join a community built on integrity, collaboration, and shared values, membership with the EKF CIC offers:
A supportive national network of like-minded karateka
Access to events, development, education, and safeguarding guidance
Club and athlete support across training, welfare, and communications
A voice in shaping the future direction of English karate
A community designed for you – not for politics
To apply for EKF association and/or club membership, and to learn more about the benefits of joining, please see the information below.
Together, as a CIC, we are building a member-led future where karate thrives.
