It is forbidden, under certain International Sport Karate Regulations, to possess a licence with another karate authority. This does not restrict you from training in other karate clubs or styles (if insured by them to do so); however, if you regularly compete, this must be your only active Karate Licence/Grade Record Book.
Please check your BWF Affiliation Status before proceeding with this facility; this option is only available to Affiliated British Wado Federation 'Associate Memberships'.
