World Class Federation of Martial Arts

The World Class Federation of Martial Arts (WCFMA) was formed to provide professional leadership, training, and guidance for martial arts schools looking for unity and brotherhood. The focus of the Federation is on Honor, Pride, Respect and Confidence.

The Mission of the WCFMA is:

	to unify Martial Artists and their schools with a foundation of the highest quality training;
	to encourage mutual respect for all styles or systems;
	to provide services and guidance to foster technical excellence, fellowship, and personal character development; and
	to broaden and enhance the martial artist network of each member school through unity, sharing, and brotherhood with other member students.

The WCFMA is committed to ensuring integrity and maintaining the highest standards in the Martial Arts community. The WCFMA goal is not only to support martial artists and their styles, but to

	function without arbitrary decision-making by any one individual;
	operate based on goodwill and member agreement rather than dictates that may not benefit all;
	operate efficiently and with other members to achieve economies of scale and avoid exorbitant fees;
	recognize members' rank based on demonstrated skills. Students in the WCFMA are not invited to test until they are ready to advance, regardless of “time in” and/or willingness to pay testing fees;
	promote the growth of instructors and their schools; and
	promote the growth of members as martial artists.

The WCFMA is also the parent organization for our school, World Class Institute of Martial Arts, and certifies the rank of each member. As a student, once you are accepted into the Federation, you will enjoy the benefits of membership immediately including official certificate; federation patch; recognition of rank beyond the walls of our school; discounts on tournaments, seminars, WCFMA gear sales; and more. Most Federations charge an annual fee of $35 or a lifetime fee of $125 or more, than another membership fee as black belts. WCFMA is offering an introductory one-time fee of only $50 to all students. Most Federations also require membership by the time you are orange belts. WCFMA has extended this to red belt, however, the sooner you join the longer you will benefit from the membership! So get the most out of your membership by joining now!

As a school owner, if you are accepted into our Federation, you will have our respect and complete autonomy, while gaining the benefit of our experience, skills, curriculum, rank and knowledge. Whether it's business issues or technical training issues – WCFMA is here to help, and to make you proud of the Federation you chose. Keep improving your skills and advancing your rank with regular training, to be the best instructor you can be!
