MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING WUKO&AD – WUKF
WUKO&AD signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the WUKF, World Union of
Karate-do Federation. WUKO&AD and WUKF are the only two organizations of General
Karate inside the UWK, United World Karate.
We report here below as signed by WUKO&AD and WUKF (it is possible to see the original
document on www.worldunitedkarate.org):
“Given that the World Union of Karate-Do Federations (WUKF) and the World United Karate
Organization & Associated Disciplines (WUKO&AD) are two global organizations coordinating
and organizing the Federations of every country on every continent with the purpose of promoting
traditional and sport karate.
Considering the above mentioned
WUKF and WUKO&AD agree to cooperate in order to promote the discipline of Karate through
common activities, organizing events that give further credibility to the discipline itself.
The respective organizations will maintain their sovereignty but will avoid activities that may overlap. So
WUKF and WUKO&AD for the next two years agree as follows:
•
WUKO&AD agrees to recognize the organization of the World Championship and of the
Continental Championships only to WUKF, ceasing to organize its own World and
Continental Championships.
•
WUKF agrees to recognize the organization of the World Cup competitions and Continental
Cup competitions only to WUKO&AD ceasing to organize its own World and Continental Cup
competitions.
•
WUKF and WUKO&AD will promote the organization of joint workshops and meetings, aimed
at merging the technical and programmatic lines of the two organizations for a joint development.
•
WUKF and WUKO&AD undertake to organize and to participate in the technical activities of
study and update”.
With this memorandum of undestanding Wuko&Ad members may attend the Wukf events and
viceversa.
