Founded in 2019 and headquartered in New York City, IJKDF now accepts membership through a dedicated new intake and onboarding flow designed for current federation standards, events, and role development.
Application intake: each submission opens a new official membership review with federation administrators.
Role-aware assignment: athletes, coaches, referees, school owners, and supporters are routed to the most relevant pathway and next-step guidance.
Standards-based onboarding: approved applicants continue through rules, seminar, and profile steps aligned with IJKDF competition and governance requirements.
