The United Federation of Martial Arts (UFMA) as the name
implies is a global family that fosters the spirit of unity among
diverse practitioners globally. By bringing together
enthusiasts from different disciplines, it promotes mutual
respect, collaboration, and shared knowledge through
continuous learning.
Our unity will lead us to an exchange of ideas, cultural
understanding, and the development of a global martial arts
community that transcends individual styles or local
boundaries. This unity is intended to allow us to work
together exclusively.
The United Federation of Martial Arts (UFMA) is willing to
facilitate access to international support from organizations
promoting and sponsoring martial arts events through referral
and endorsement. UFMA also links members with partners or
individuals from other countries to develop business
relationships and opportunities outside martial arts.
United Federation of Martial Arts’s members gain access to a
more extensive network of experts and attain seminars,
learning, training, international travels, and history sharing
that develop a worldwide exposure that compliments the
offerings of local federations. The increased exchange and
collaboration on a global scale could contribute to overall
growth and development in practice.

Arts (UFMA). This global organization aims to unite all styles,
systems, and instructors under one umbrella. we welcome
members from past, present, and future organizations, with no

great need for collaboration and knowledge-sharing.
This global organization unites practitioners of all styles,
cultures, and backgrounds. We believe in sharing knowledge,
breaking stereotypes, and embracing diversity. Our focus is on
personal development, community support, and anti-bullying
