IAF is an Umbrella Organisation that works for the development and reconciliation of Aikido sport. At present, it has 49 member nations; all are recognised by the Aikikai Hombu located in Japan and considered as the "Mother House" of Aikido.
Although its a democratic organisation yet some significant roles have been assigned to Doshu and a senior instructors council. It also demonstrates the sport in the World Games. It also organises the International Aikido Congress every four years.
