The Kenya Karate Federation (KKF) is the national governing body for Karate in Kenya. It is officially affiliated with UFAK (Union of African Karate Federations), WKF (World Karate Federation), and NOCK (National Olympic Committee of Kenya).

KKF governs and promotes Karate activities across all 47 counties of the Republic of Kenya. The Federation has established a strong national presence with active branches in every county. This extensive grassroots network plays a vital role in:

• Talent identification and grassroots development
• Long-term athlete progression and high-performance pathways
• Promoting Karate as both a competitive sport and a disciplined way of life

In addition to its county-based structure, KKF works closely with numerous recognized style associations that are formally affiliated with the Federation. These include:

These partnerships reflect KKF’s inclusive and collaborative approach — embracing a wide diversity of traditional and modern Karate styles while maintaining unified national standards fully aligned with international regulations (WKF/UFAK). Through this structure, the Federation continues to strengthen technical excellence, preserve Karate’s cultural and philosophical heritage, and create more opportunities for athletes and practitioners throughout Kenya.
