Welcome to Sport Karate United Kingdom & Ireland
(SKUKI)! Our federation is based on the
principles of providing a non-political and supportive karate environment for our member
clubs, irrespective of style or size. Predominantly consisting of
university-based
clubs in the UK and Ireland, we welcome applications or
enquiries from similar non-political clubs or organisations who wish to focus
on teaching karate and have a route to competing internationally in our
national squad.
SKUKI is affiliated
to the World Union of
Karate-Do Organizations (WUKO).
