- About the United States (USA) Martial Arts Federation
- The United States (USA) Martial Arts Federation has a long history and legacy of providing Strong Leadership in serving the American Martial Arts. Most of the Founding Trustees of the USMAF began their Service to the American Martial Arts over 30 years ago in 1967. In that year the American Martial Arts Society (AMAS) was founded with the primary mission to serve the American Martial Arts. The Society’s Founder was Shihan Sensei John J. Chaffin. Although today in his 70’s Shihan Chaffin is no longer active, many of his students & associates such as Bruce R. Bethers, Robert M. Carver, Charles Voerster & others continue to carry this "banner" to further the development of the American Martial Arts. In 1981, the members of the American Martial Arts Society, along with the Leadership of the Armed Forces Martial Arts Association merged together to form the United States Martial Arts Association (USMAA). The USMAA was incorporated in 1981 in Oklahoma. Although the organization’s name had changed, the Leaders of the USMAA still had their roots and principles well founded in the AMAS mission of providing an organization committed to mutual respect for all styles or systems of martial arts, while providing services and guidance to foster technical excellence, fellowship and human character development. In 1997, the Leadership of the USMAA attempted to "merge in spirit" with a new organization (by the same name). For the next two years, the Leaders of the original USMAA worked very hard to achieve the goal of "Unifying American Martial Artists". However after many problems surfaced with the design, structure and leadership of the USMA, the founders of the original USMAA realized that their goals would not be achieved with that organization. Today, the NEED to Unify American Martial Artists has never been stronger. Thus, the decision was made by the original USMAA Founders and other Key Leaders, such as Hanshi George E. Anderson, that an Alternative is needed, if the Goal is to be Achieved. The United States (USA) Martial Arts Federation is the Straight-Up (Legal & Correct) alternative to meet the "needs" and achieve the goals of today and for future generations in the Martial Arts. Although our name has changed a few times, our commitment to ethical leadership is solid and our principles are strong, "Integrity, Honor, Discipline".
