ABOUT THE FEDERATION
IMAF Czech Republic connects the martial arts and combat sports environment in the Czech Republic.
Our mission is to support cooperation among schools, instructors and organizations, professional development and responsible transmission of experience. The foundation is respect for individual traditions and openness to contemporary disciplines.
The federation’s scope reaches beyond one country of origin, one discipline or one concept of training. Japanese, Korean, Chinese and European arts stand here alongside boxing, MMA and other combat sports.
Shared values while preserving the identity of each school.
SCOPE

INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS
The historical roots of IMAF and the independent development of the European federation form the broader context of the Czech representation.
CZECH REPUBLICCzech representation and a national environment for developing cooperation in martial arts and combat sports.
Professional standards, ethical principles and respect for individual disciplines.
EUROPE · INDEPENDENT SINCE 1983It became independent in 1983. Its scope expanded to all martial arts and combat sports, traditional and modern.
Cooperation across countries, cultures and disciplines.
JAPAN · FOUNDED IN 1951A Japanese organization connected with the historical roots of IMAF. Its focus is based on traditional Japanese martial arts.
An independent organization with its own leadership and scope.
The independence of IMAF Europe is an essential milestone for understanding its broad scope today. The European federation therefore cannot be identified only with the Japanese disciplines of Kokusai Budōin IMAF.
