History

On April 1, 1957 Judoka Jürgen Seydel founded in Bad Homburg before the height of the first karate Dōjō Germany (Budokan Bad Homburg). The sport spread quickly and as early as 1961, the German Karate Association (DKB) founded as the first karate association in Germany. At the same time, the German Judo Association (DJB) tried to unify all budo sports under its roof and in 1965 founded the "Karate section of the German Judo Federation" (SeKa DJB). As a section of the DJB, this association was automatically a member and thus official representative of the sport in the former German Sports Association (DSB). The older and stronger member of the Karate Association was thus virtually excluded from the DSB. As a result, there were two national teams that participated in events of various organizations at an international level: the SeKa sent their athletes to events of the European Karate Union (EKU) and the World Union of Karate Do Organizations (WUKO), athletes of the German Karate Federation participated in championships of the European Amateur Karate Federation (EAKF) and the International Amateur Karate Federation (IAKF).

Jürgen Seydel is considered the father of karate in Germany.

The German Judo Federation is an association of German judo. The judo sport in West Germany was organized as a sport from 1949 to 1954 in the Deutscher Athletenbund (DAB). On 8 August 1953 the German Judo Association was founded by Dan-bearers of the German Dan-Kollegium (DDK) like Alfred Rhode of the 1st German Judo-Club. Alfred Rhode had introduced judo in Germany with the 1st DJC at his Frankfurt summer school in 1932.

The European Karate Federation (EKF) is the governing body of competitive karate in more than 50 countries across Europe. The EKF's stated goal is to promote, organize, regulate, and popularize the sport of karate. It is one of the five continental federations recognized by the World Karate Federation. Since 1966, it has organized the European Karate Championships. Additionally, it now organizes Junior, Cadet, and Under-21 Championships.

In addition to these two associations existed a number of other, especially style-related associations, such as the German-Japanese Karate Association (DJKV), the Goju-Kai Germany (GKD), the Wado-Kai Germany (WKD) and the German Karate Union (DKU). On June 17, 1976 the DKB, GKD and DJKV found the German Karate Association e. V. (DKV) as a joint umbrella organization, to which on 1 January 1977 also DKU, WKD and SeKa DJB formally joined. On June 11, 1977, this was included in the DSB, while at the same time the SeKa was spun off from the DJB. Only in Lower Saxony does the Seka persist.

On November 2, 1986, finally, the conversion was decided in a trade association. The previously autonomous member associations merged and gave up their membership in favor of the newly formed national associations. In 1995, the association also opened to other groups and styles within the framework of a major structural and constitutional change. In addition to the four major styles; Goju-Ryu, Wadō-Ryu, Shitō-ryū and Shōtōkan led the former national coach Toni Dietl in 1997, the style open Karate. Since even in these now recognized styles, not all karate styles were covered. In 1999, he introduced the junior Dan from 13 in the DKV. In 2001, the sound-karate followed. According to Munzinger archive changed Toni Dietl so the karate more than anyone before or after him.

In 1993, national coach Hideo Ochi separated from the German Karate Association and founded the Deutscher JKA-Karate Bund (DJKB). The DJKB starts internationally at JKA competitions.
