World Union of Karate-do Organizations

World Union of Karate-do Organizations (WUKO), was originally founded in 1970. The name of WUKO was abandoned in the early 1990s when WUKO and the International Traditional Karate Federation (ITKF) were to amalgamate as the World Karate Federation (WKF). The unification did not occur and the WUKO group left to form the WKF on their own. In July 2005 an organization by the name "Wuko" was founded in Fortaleza, Brazil, by Carlo Henke, 8 dan master, and a group of friends, aimed at "the development of karate on a sports and on a promotional level." While the organization grew fast, disagreements caused the founder to revoke the temporary concession of the Wuko name and logo. In 14 November 2009, in Verbania, Italy, WUKO, World Union of Karate-do Organizations, was founded again, this time as a no-profit association.<ref name=about/> |
