Structure Of The World Martial Arts Alliance
Home / Articles & Reports / General Articles
The UKKFF is part of the 'Alliance', which we believe provides the best way forward for the education & growth of our students, and the best possible environment in which to study & train the martial arts. Many people are still unaware of just how large & diverse the Alliance really is, mainly because friendship-based links exist between our members, rather than (for example) a profit-driven business organisation with central management & marketing The chart below shows the overall structure of the WMAA and how the UK Kung-Fu Federation fits into the big picture.
