Legacy of Kyokushin in Pakistan
IKO Pakistan Kyokushin is a dedicated martial arts organization committed to promoting the authentic spirit and discipline of Kyokushin Karate across Pakistan. Established in 1977 by Shihan Inamullah Khan, one of the pioneers of Kyokushin in the country, the organization has built a legacy of strength, discipline, and respect rooted in the teachings of Sosai Masutatsu Oyama, the founder of Kyokushin Karate.
Today, that legacy continues under the leadership of his son, Sensei Kaleemullah Khan, who carries forward the vision of spreading traditional, full-contact Kyokushin through rigorous training, technical excellence, and national and international tournaments.
