Executive Summary

Authorized national federations of the World Karate Federation (WKF) seeking to implement the Guardian Girls Karate (GGK) project must complete a formal registration process with Guardian Girls International (GGI). This registration is a prerequisite for official recognition as an Authorized National Implementing Partner (ANIP) of the GGK project within their respective countries.

Upon successful review and approval of the registration by both GGI and WKF, the national federation will also be officially recognized by the National Guardian Girls Committee (NGGC), the national-level governing and coordinating body of Guardian Girls programs—as the designated ANIP for the GGK project. This dual recognition authorizes the national federation to implement, promote, and coordinate GGK activities in alignment with the international standards and guidelines established by GGI and WKF.

By becoming an ANIP, the organization will benefit from the support and strategic networks of the NGGC, including access to coordination and resources at the international, regional, and national levels.

Eligibility of Registration

This registration is exclusively available to national federations of the World Karate Federation (WKF) that have been formally authorized by the WKF to implement the Guardian Girls Karate (GGK) project in their respective countries. Only one WKF-recognized national federation per country is eligible to serve as the Authorized National Implementing Partner (ANIP) for GGK, working through their certified female GGK instructors. If your organization is not currently authorized by the WKF, please contact the WKF directly for details on how to become the officially recognized national federation in your country—provided that such a designation has not already been granted.
