Karatenomichi World Federation India (KWF India) – India Team Set to Shine on the World Stage at Tokyo 2025

Mumbai: India is gearing up for a proud moment on the global martial arts stage as seven outstanding karate athletes and officials from Karatenomichi World Federation India (KWF India) set off to represent the nation at the 11th KWF World Conference and Karate World Cup, scheduled from September 30th to October 5th, 2025, in Tokyo, Japan.

The KWF World Conference and Karate World Cup, a prestigious biennial event, brings together elite athletes and senior instructors from nearly 50 countries, uniting the spirit of traditional Budo Karate under the supreme leadership of Grandmaster Mikio Yahara (10th Dan Black Belt). This year holds special significance as KWF celebrates its 25th anniversary of excellence in global karate.

At the heart of KWF’s philosophy is Ichigeki Hissatsu — the mastery of one decisive strike. Beyond combat, this principle teaches discipline, perseverance, and the courage to overcome life’s challenges. It is this indomitable spirit that the Indian team carries with them as they step onto the world stage.
