International Karate Kyokushinkai Organization Pakistan (IKKOP)
About us
Who We Are
Kyokushinkai Karate Organization Pakistan (KKOP) is dedicated to preserving and promoting the authentic spirit of Kyokushinkai Karate in Pakistan while expanding its reach internationally. Rooted in the philosophy of Osu no Seishin — the spirit of perseverance — IKKOP blends tradition with structured evolution, ensuring that innovation never replaces the core values of Budo.
Inspired by the teachings of Sosai Masutatsu Oyama, the founder of Kyokushin Karate, KKOP develops both physical strength and mental discipline through traditional full-contact training. Our mission is to nurture character, resilience, respect, and leadership in every practitioner, contributing positively to society on a cultural and social level.
IKKOP offers Dojos across Pakistan the opportunity to operate under a unified collaboration protocol, providing structured examinations, Dan recognition, instructor and referee certification, official membership documentation, and participation in national and international seminars and competitions.
Under the leadership of Sensei Kaleemullah Khan, the organization proudly continues the legacy of Shihan Inamullah Khan, who pioneered Kyokushin in Pakistan nearly five decades ago. Through their guidance, KKOP stands as a symbol of discipline, unity, and long-term development of Kyokushinkai Karate both nationally and globally.
Our History
Kyokushin Karate in Pakistan traces its roots back to 1977, when Shihan Inamullah Khan laid the foundation for authentic Kyokushin training in the country. Guided by the philosophy of Sosai Masutatsu Oyama, he established a system grounded in discipline, perseverance, and respect.
Over the decades, the organization evolved into a structured national body, now operating as Kyokushinkai Karate Organization Pakistan (KKOP). With nearly 50 years of uninterrupted dedication to teaching and development, IKKOP has expanded its vision beyond national borders, embracing international collaboration while preserving traditional values.
Today, under Sensei Kaleemullah Khan, KKOP continues to strengthen Kyokushin in Pakistan, fostering unity among Dojos and preparing future generations to carry forward the true spirit of Budo.
