TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES
As stated in the IKKF Mission Statement, a major focus for the existance of the IKKF is "training, training & more training". The IKKF does not sponsor tournaments. Thus, one can say that the IKKF is a training focused organization.
The IKKF provides a number of training opportunities available to Chartered Dojos or Affiliated Organizations. First and foremost the IKKF Hombu is open for members to visit and train.
Other training opportunities available to the IKKF member include:
- IKKF Annual Training & Seminars
- IKKF Winter Camp & Seminars
- IKKF Hombu Seminars
- IKKF Regional Clinics & Seminars
- IKKF Video Training Tapes
