The Martial Spirit in Competitions

Organized by the World Fighting Martial Arts Federation (WFMAF), the U.S. Open Martial Arts Championship (USOMAC) is an arena which promotes the core values of martial arts: self-discipline, self-respect and respect for others, the nurturing of personal growth, benevolence towards others, and the practice of inclusion of all people and cultures as a means to building a whole and healthy society. This tournament provides a unique experience for martial artists from around the globe to come together and compete in a friendly atmosphere, to share skills and knowledge, to establish new friendships with those who share the same core values of martial arts, and to express these core values through actions. Come and join us on October 14th for our 10th Annual USOMAC, and experience for yourself martial spirit hand in hand with one of the premier martial arts tournament events in the East Coast of the United States.
