Causes: Amateur Sports, Sports
Mission: To conduct and sponsor national and international competitions in the martial arts and to support and develop amateur athletes for such competitions and further, to promote world peace through its activities.
Programs: World tong-il moo-do federation is a very unique martial arts organization in that we educate students who practice martial arts in a deeper philosophy of martial arts which guides them to become responsible individuals, then to creating ideal family, then to making better society, then to realizing a world of peace. At wtmf, we emphasize the importance of philosophy, in a way more than actual practice of martial arts. In our view, the philosophy we teach corresponds to human mind and actual practice of martial arts corresponds to human body. Body cannot function without mind. Based on this understanding, wtmf offers lectures of our philosophy to all participants of our events. We invite students of martial arts from any schools to our events to share our philosophy with them and hopefully work together to start building a better world. We had 14 events worldwide in 2017 with the aim to achieve our objectives just outlined above. Some were solely sponsored by us and others were co-sponsored by our associates.
