The Italian Federation of Judo, Wrestling, Karate and Martial Arts (Italian: Federazione Italiana Judo Lotta Karate Arti Marziali (FIJLKAM) a sports organization affiliated to the Italian National Olympic Committee.[1]

It was founded on 18 January 1902 in Milan by the Marquis Luigi Monticelli Obizzi, who was also its first president.

FIJLKAM is one of the oldest federations and is an integral part of the history of Italian sport with 3000 affiliated companies, 120,000 athletes and 3,000 technical teachers. In addition to jūdō, wrestling and karate, it runs Brazilian jiu-jitsu,[2] aikido, jujutsu, sumo, grappling and mixed martial arts.[3]

However, FIJLKAM delegates the management of MMA, Grappling and BJJ to FIGMMA (Italian Federation of Grappling and Mixed Martial Arts - Italian: Federazione Italiana Grappling Mixed Martial Arts).[2]

The federation has always represented Italy, and has obtained 13 golds, 11 silvers and 20 bronzes in Olympic competitions, which enrich a vast medal collection with about 600 medals won at the Mediterranean Games, the European Championships, the World Championships and at the World Games.

The president of the federation has been for 32 years (from 1981 to 2013) Matteo Pellicone (1935-2013).[4] Since 2013 the president is Domenico Falcone.
