The International Wado Federation is the only union for all international autonomous and/or independent Wado Karate Schools, Groups and Associations throughout the World. 

The International Wado Federation is a Governing Body for traditional Wado karate organisations, promoting Wado unity world-wide as an alliance of Wado associations and groups internationally; irrespective of national or world affiliations. You do not have to leave any existing World Governing Body to join the International Wado Federation, as we encourage unity within all Wado.


"Style Before Politics!"

The International Wado Federation was formed from the foundations of the Alliance of International Wadoryu (AIWa), which were established in 1982. 

The International Wado Federation IS NOT an 'All-Styles' or 'Sport-Orientated' Karate Governing Body, so we are able to accept members from all World Governing Bodies.


"Purely Wado for Wado Purists!"

There will be no interference with the type of Wado Karate you practise, just services, support and most importantly an allegiance for all members.

"The International Wado Federation is the only World Governing Body for Wado that considers all Wado Groups and Federations into membership."
