Our purpose is to improve traditional martial arts for higher education and protect people in the public by providing a safe learning environment. Many styles of martial arts exist. Schools teach each style independently and each has its own distinct philosophies. An escalating concern exists regarding public health. There are many reasons to be concerned for our health. The spread of infections related to bacteria or viruses is a major concern. Many health conditions are present that poses a threat to a healthy martial arts environment. Today's world brings us a new area of concern in the martial arts, the importance of hygiene.

It is important to have knowledge regarding health risk associated with teaching and practicing the martial arts. The nature of martial arts training requires close physical contact and this poses a potential threat for the martial art student. A safe, clean, professional atmosphere is essential. Health is the most important aspect of martial arts. If we want to maximize our health, then we must increase our knowledge of health.

Furthermore, this organization will help develop relationships among all peoples. We should all work together to bring the martial arts up to their intended high standards and bring peace to all people throughout the world.
