World Karate Union (WKU): The World Karate Union Hall Of Fame was established in 1996 as a means to honor martial artists for their unselfish contributions to the martial arts. While some names are more recognizable than others all are deserving of respect and acknowledgement. Nominees are selected through ballots which are sent throughout the United States, Europe, Russia, South America, Canada, the West Indies & Australia.
The majority of inductees are recommended directly by the WKU Board Members and past inductees. The criteria is based on extraordinary excellence in the martial arts and tireless devotion to the community.

Some noteworthy inductees include:
