USA NKF Moves National Headquarters

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.—USA National Karate-do Federation (USA NKF) has relocated its national office from St. Albans, W.Va., to Colorado Springs, Colo. The decision to move was made during a board meeting in conjunction with the USA NKF National Championships in July.

The move allows the federation to “continue to develop a close working relationship with the United States Olympic Committee and other Olympic and Pan-Am sport national governing bodies,” according to the federation.
