History
After 55 years of affiliation with the FLAM (Luxembourg Federation of Martial Arts), Luxembourg’s karate clubs decided in 2023 to unite under a new organisation, the FLK (Luxembourg Karate Federation). Since its inception, the Luxembourg Karate Federation has been dedicated to structuring and promoting the practice of karate across the country. It continues to work toward enhancing this discipline while respecting the traditions and values associated with it. Today, the FLK stands as a central figure in the national sports landscape, ensuring that every practitioner can progress in a safe and structured environment.
