1970 The history of WUKO (World Union of Karate-do Organizations) began when Mr. Ryoichi Sasakawa and Mr. Jacques Delcourt decided to form the first global karate organization.

1990 WUKO attempted to merged with ITKF, the International Traditional Karate Federation, in order to obtain the acknowledgment of IOC, the International Olympic Committee this failed resulting in the IOC only acknowledging WUKO, on a condition that the name “WUKO” would be abandoned. Hence from the ashes of WUKO, the WKF (World Karate Federation) recognized by the IOC as being responsible for karate competitions in the Olympic Games.

2005 Mr. Carlo Henke, having verified the availability of the name “WUKO”, which had been abandoned for almost fifteen years, decided to recreate the organization. He changed the original WUKO logo. The aims of these organizations (WUKO & WKF) are as different as they were in the past; the WKF aims to enter the Olympic Games and acknowledges just one organization per nation whereas the new WUKO mission was the promotion and development of karate internationally by acknowledging more than one organization per nation.

Shortly after the re-founding of WUKO, the WKF filed a legal proceeding decided for the cancellation of the brand WUKO, the case which was “WON” by WUKO in the first instance based on the fact that Carlo Henke, whom the brand was linked,  had been part of the old WUKO.

2009 WUKO changed its name from the World Union of Karate-do Organizations into the World United Karate Organization and the brand was registered by another person. In this new brand, there are no words or names in conflict with any other specific brand.

2010 WKF decided to contest the WUKO brand once again. This time the judgment and the analysis of OHIM, the Office for Harmonization in the Internal Market, were in favor of WUKO which WON the first session at the court of Alicante, Spain. The opposition was rejected, and the brand registered. Nevertheless, WKF decided to come forth with a new cancellation request, which eventually resulted in a new verdict in their favor overturning the previous one. This was because the acronym, though not appearing on the logo, was the same as that of 1970.

WUKO leadership acknowledged the verdict of the Court of Alicante and considered the appeal with no certainty of the outcome to be too costly. Therefore, the board of directors concluded that the money use to fight worthless and meaningless legal issues could be used for the productivity in the interest of the WUKO affiliates, so the name once again changed to WUKO & AD, the World United Karate Organization & Associated Disciplines.

Once again WKF was not satisfied with this and proceeds with opposition once again. The WUKO & AD Directing Committee decided to defend themselves when necessary but without having the intention to waste their time and financial means on unnecessary court battles. So, even before the last court decision, it was decided to dissolve the WUKO and to form the new exciting all-inclusive WKMO.

Over the years, we’ve been able to build a reputation as one of the strongest International Organization of Martial Artists all over the World; joining Traditional General and Contact Karate and many other martial arts in a strong family.
