The Federation was founded in 1969 as a central umbrella body of the four partner organizations. The federation also works with such organizations as the traditional school of karate. In the current Kotairen, Chutairen is launched under the Gakuren, an umbrella sports association.

Traditionally, different karate organizations have followed different rules of competition. The Japan Karate Association attempts to standardize the rules of competition for all of these factions. They also address conflicts between the factions that follow Kyokushin, (full-contact karate), Kum, (flow of Kyokushin) and such full contact karate organizations such as (Seidokaikan, etc.) which are NOT members of the JKF.
