OUR MISSION
The mission of WUMAF is to unify the diverse interests of the various forms of Karate and Karate Competition under one World Federation for the purpose of presenting a unified world stage in the interests of International and World level competition and developmental training for all Karate practitioners world-wide.

OUR PURPOSE
The purpose of this unification was to provide a united application to SportAccord for membership and recognition as the currently recognized Federation, WKF considers these organizations within its constitution to be “dissident” organizations and therefore disallows and prevents participation in major International Competitions such as SportAccord’s Combat Games, and the Continental Games of IOC.
OUR PRINCIPLES
TO PROVIDE
A unified effort world-wide wherein karate as a martial art in its many forms and styles (schools) of training can become recognized by the major sport authorities of IOC and Sport Accord as a major global sport that involved millions of practitioners.
A unified forum of competition that recognizes and embraces the diversity that exists within the martial art of karate while at the same time unifies the focus and effort to celebrate the global nature of the martial art of karate itself.
A unified forum of standard for coaching principles, judging ability, competition quality and safety that ensures all participants are able to compete to their highest ability in a controlled environment that is safe for all participants, regardless of the individual karate Discipline they have chosen.
Opportunities for participants to develop at all levels of activity and competition from local community grassroots programs to international elite competition free from discrimination or bias of any kind.
