About IFKK
設立の経緯
Forming an organization needs a root cause and desire to join hands towards something achievable. In 2011, after enough demands and all political issues, 3 major players decided to do something better for Karate and specially Kyokushin. This led to a brief hands-on meeting and the decision to form a new, modern, sustainable and compact organization.
The idea of being near the participants, students, and members was the driving force for us to start working. What did the members want — what did they not want? The list was set to determine how to work out organization policy and also how to service all members.

The Core Demands
-
All are equal — no religious harassment nor political influences on the organization. -
All members get full service at low cost. -
Cooperation with all other organizations, also those who have been neglected by other IKO’s. -
Clear transparent system flow. -
A democratic setup — not just rank based or Branch Chief based system. -
All Branch Chiefs must organize and form a democratic organization.
These were and still are the main core demands that we formed our organization towards.
IFKK is a non-profit and non-political organization with a democratic body represented by Chairman Goksel Sahinbas, the Netherlands.
