Membership info
While each WBF-USA member school remains independent, having a student’s rank recognized by an international martial arts organization is a great source both of pride and retention. WBF-USA provides its member schools with the option of having their students issued WBF-USA certificates in addition to (or in lieu of) their own school’s rank certificates. WBF-USA rank certificates are attractive, high quality certificates that are suitable for framing, and something your students will be proud of. They will have both the signature of the WBF-USA President Hanshi Kevin Pereira and the WBF Founder and World President Soke David J. Kacperski. If you are an instructor who needs to advance, WBF-USA can assist here as well. Based upon time and grade, as well as experience and skill. We can also provide registration and recognition of current rank with proper documentation.
