INTERNATIONAL MARTIAL ARTS AWARDS

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE TO OTHER EVENTS LIKE A HALL OF FAME ?

The W.M.A.L. follows the same old Martial Arts traditions and principles since 1953.

Contrary to other organizations, at which one acquires an award simply by the payment
of a certain amount, those inductees with the
ICHMAE & WMAL INTERNATIONALLY MARTIAL TYPE AWARDS
were choosen by a nomination comitee under different aspects.

So kept selected since 1998 inquiries from over 3200 persons arrived at the HQ´s,
but effectively only a few over 1000 were nominated and finally less than 350 were honored with an induction award.

Another very big difference is that our ceremonies are non-profit events and really
"INTERNATIONAL" !
(The W.M.A.L. awards allready have been held at: Puerto Rico, the Bahamas,
the U.S.A.(Wisconsin, Missouri, Deleware) and Germany !
