Who We Are

United Martial Arts® represents a long standing tradition of martial arts in this country. It stems from such long running organizations as the United States Karate Association including its Police Self Defense Instructor program, to the USA Karate Federation, the US Jujitsu Federation and the USA Sports Jujitsu Alliance, World Kobudokan, Traditional Kodokan Judo, Central Taekwondo Association, Changmookwan and Kwanmukan.

Our History

United Martial Arts® is new, but there is a rich history in the organizations that it represents. The United States Karate Association was the first karate organization in the United States (1946). The USA Karate Federation was at one time the National Governing Body for karate in the United States and is still involved in the Olympic Karate movement.The United States Jujitsu Federation had its beginnings in 1972 as did the Central Taekwondo Association. The Changmookwan and Kangdukwon represent two of the founding organizations of the Kukkiwon in Korea. Many of these organizations and groups stem from the activities of Hanshi George E. Anderson (deceased) one of the most well-known American martial artists in the world.
