Since 2010
Founded in 2010, the World Fight Sports and Martial Arts Council (WFMC) is a global organization of Martial artists, practitioners, instructors, and school owners engaged in different disciplines and arts, as well as styles and principles. We are founded on the principles and ideals of Issa Akkus. The organization was established by Master Akkus, at the request and with the blessings of numerous highly regarded martial artists from across internationally in order to preserve the vision of the founder.

The association provides a venue for martial artists to come together to share ideas, further their knowledge through seminars, receive recognition of individual accomplishments, and to compete in a fair and safe environment.

A: Yes, we hold regular seminars and courses to improve knowledge, mastery and understanding of Martial Arts principles and concepts.
A: Unfortunately not. We’re very open and transparent about maintaining excellent standards in martial arts, and part of this is allowing students to easily see and understand grades, professional qualifications and other statutes – like DBS checks, insurance, first aid and so on. By joining us, you must accept that your professional details will be made available online. Privacy is a big deal. Not only are we of course GDPR compliant, but we’re sensitive to these concerns. No personal information is published other than your full name. Please contact us before joining if you have concerns about this.
A: Your membership will give you full access to our training lists, courses and regular tournaments that will be keeping you busy the entire year. Being with another organization may be in conflict with our schedule. We wanted to ensure you fully utilize what you pay for and we have a dedicated section on our site to help you make the switch.
We are accessible to different channel options. You can send us an email or a message at your most convenient time and we will try to get back to you as soon as possible.
A:We’ve got some specific guidance on helping those without set guides gain eligibility to teach. It’s fair and based on a number of different influencing factors, so you should find we can help you demonstrate proof in other ways than just grades.
A: Provided it is safe, responsible and in keeping with our regulatory guidelines – yes. We give freewill on how you will run your own club as long as it doesn’t collide with any of our ethics and values in the association. We want to make sure you will also speak the message we want to present to our co-sportsperson. These guidelines are not designed to restrict what you can or can not do, and don’t lead you to incur any additional charges. You’re still free to grade students your way, when you wish, without paying us a penny and to keep complete control over the direction and future of your club.
Our primary focus is the professional standards, safety and safeguarding of members training with you. Our basic set of regulations will help you run a legal, compliant and safe school. The direction you chose to take this in is entirely up to you.
A: Yes, of course. But you have a choice. First, you can join the other categories which are most similar and close to you. For example, as the MMA practitioner, you can join the Submission Grappling or if you’re a Muay Thai practitioner you can try Kickboxing or K1. If it does not suit you, write to us and we will create a new category of your specialization.
