Train with MMAKF
Begin your Karate-Do.
From one student to a school training hundreds, MMAKF delivers structured Shotokan through a national network. Tell the federation what you need and it goes to the unit that handles it.
- Say who the training is for An individual, a school, a university, a company, a government body or a community organisation. The federation asks different things of each.
- Answer what is needed to price it The same questions the training office would ask — roughly how many people, where you are, and what you want run. It saves as you go, so you can stop and come back to it.
- Keep a reference and a status link Your request reaches the training office against a reference, and you get a link that shows where it has actually got to.
Fees depend on what you need — the federation quotes against your own requirements rather than a price list. Would rather not use a form? Write to admin@mmakf.in with your institution, roughly how many people, and where you are.
