4Core Democratic Principles

IFKK is founded on the principle that all members are equal — regardless of nationality, religion, or political affiliation. The organization operates as a non-profit, non-political democratic body. No religious harassment or political influences are permitted within the organization.


All are welcome: IFKK cooperates with all other Kyokushin organizations, including those who have been neglected by other IKO's. A clear, transparent system flow ensures every member and branch receives fair and equal treatment.
