United World Martial Arts Federation (UWMAF)
“The Martial Arts and Karate world can not be unified the same way as has been attempted for the last 45 years. Today the IOC has failed all karate-ka and accepted the World Karate Federation without unifying karate worldwide just as they did with Taekwondo.
Well researched pragmatic techniques and tactics with Martial Sport and Art, being the guiding principles alone could bring a truly unified structure where the martial arts thrive as one of the most important tools for human peace and development in the present complex world. Martial Arts from all origins, although developed by the many countries and cultures now belongs to the World and not just one part of the World but the whole World. It is now time to Unite and Develop all martial arts”
