The objective of the SWKKF National Team is to represent the SWKKF at various tournaments within the organization and to uphold the values of Sensei Shintani and the SWKKF at international tournaments. In the past the SWKKF National team members were chosen through a qualifying process (placing in the top 3 in kata or kumite) and tournament competition based solely on kata and kumite results. This tournament was held in conjunction with the National Tournament in May. The team is currently selection based which is held bi-annually and consists of a weekend full of events.

Candidates are selected based on various weighted categories, including level of fitness, coach-ability, adaptability and an evaluation of kata and kumite. By the end of the weekend the best competitors will represent the team. The men's weight categories will be under 60kg under 80 kg, over 80 kg. and two wildcard selections by the selection committee which will be based on the weekend's events (The wild card candidates may be selected from any weight class). The women's categories will be under 60kg and over 60kg.

A selection committee will consist of 5 members, the team coach and 4 others which will be appointed by the senate from past team members, ranking yodansha or senate members from across the country. The competition evaluation judges will consist of Black belt judges and/or committee members.
