About Us

The Martial Arts Foundation is an organization open to all martial art styles and systems. MAF primary focus is to promote   discipline, respect, honor, personal accountability and leadership through the philosophy of martial art activities.   An increasing number of kids are tempted by certain elements of today's society that produce negative and/or none productive behavior. Likewise, there are significant numbers of adults who have drifted from the everyday practice of fundamental courtesy, community involvement and a demand for children, family and friends to be accountable for their actions. MAF strives to maintain basic values of goodwill and community development through the support of young kids, teens and adult martial art students of all ages and martial art styles by providing quality ongoing martial art activities. Since MAF's inception many martial art schools, associations, businesses and special interest groups have participated in it's activities and are proud affiliates with the organization.  

Free Karate Tournaments have become a popular event for competitors of all ages who complete without the financial pressures associated with other martial art organizations.  

Martial Arts Exposition is a forum that offers demonstrations of different martial art styles, history   and concepts. It allows an opportunity to understand different martial art philosophy and techniques while showing the distinctions and similarities of various styles.

Scholarships are a focus for raising funds to support MAF members seeking additional education or training. The founder’s goal is to offer a creative means to provide financial assistance to not only two and four-year college bound students but also seek support for individuals pursuing vocational training. Additional goals include supporting middle and high school students in need of tutoring.    

Memberships are open to individuals, organizations and businesses interested in supporting our efforts. If you like the concept of MAF then become a supporting member. Apart from providing free tournaments we also promote seminars, scholarship fund-raising events and other economical activities. Your membership donation can aid in the continuation of our activities.  

MAF Annual Food Drive is another element of the organization. It enables us to donate food to needy families and senior citizens within the local community by collaborating with civic groups whose interest is providing care to the underprivileged. Individuals attending our free tournaments are encouraged to bring canned goods as a donation towards this effort. However, donations are not mandatory to participate in free tournament.

MAF, appreciating those who appreciate martial arts!
