GKF KARATE INDIA (Affiliated to WUKF)

About Us

GKF Karate was founded in 2020, by Sensei Muthusamy Ramathas and Mr. Sundeep Ramanan. There is an endless amount of different karate styles and clubs all over the world, however, not all of them are affiliated to an official body, or provide official certification to their students.

GKF Started with the sole purpose of

  • Uniting each and every karate style officially with no bias and only kindness. Everyone and anyone is welcome to join!
  • Spreading the goodness of karate further.
  • Prompt healthy living, and awareness of fitness.

Sensei Muthusamy Ramathas, President of GKF, is also the President of Goshin Isshinryu Karate, which was founded in 2007, and has been a part of the World Union Karate Federation (WUKF) since the 1st of January 2017. He has strived for many years to provide his students with official and worldly-recognized training, to improve the standard of each of his students. Later on, he opened branches in Sri Lanka and India to further establish official associations of Isshinryu Karate and provide official certification to all the students. Over the years, he opened more and more branches to spread true and official Isshinryu throughout the UK, Sri Lanka and India. In 2019, he hosted the Isshinryu World Karate Championships in London-UK, where he united the IWKA and WUKF for the first time, after seeing the different clubs standing together he envisioned a Federation that joins all different styles together in the name of Karate. He dreamed of amalgamating the different karate styles and clubs with friendly and beneficial means to promote true and official karate around the world, providing every student with better quality training, including various tournaments and seminars; from here GKF was born.

GKF is officially affiliated to the World Union Karate Federation (WUKF), and by registering under GKF all clubs will become affiliated to WUKF. Together, we stand strong.
