Danish Karate Federation

Danish Karate Federation (DKarF) brings karate clubs throughout Denmark together. The federation combines club support and training programs with a nationwide competition structure and talent development in kata and kumite.

Club development and training are an important part of the federation's offering. Clubs can find information about membership, club licenses, insurance, and member registration. Support funds focus, among other things, on grassroots sport and education.

The training structure includes assistant coaches, various coaching levels, and separate pathways for kata, kumite, and referees. The federation also publishes overviews of certified instructors and information about WKF dan grades.

Competitive sport and talent development take shape through championships, national teams and talent centres. For kumite, there are eastern and western talent centres; kata has its own talent centre and national team.

Committees for grassroots sport, training, talent and elite sport, competitions and referees support the various areas. Within its elite programme, the federation also focuses on anti-doping, sports psychology, nutrition and concussions.

Associations can apply for membership with Dansk Karateforbund. The federation publishes the various types of membership and their associated benefits, as well as the procedures for club licences and reporting member numbers.
