- MAIF RECOGNIZED SYSTEMS & DAN GRADES -
Two of the goals of the MAIF is to encourage "Mutual Respect" and "Cooperation" within the International Martial Arts Community. What better way then to encourage the inclusion of other martial arts into an organization and to give them a real voice in how that organization is run. In the MAIF, we have done just that through our Partners and Affiliates . These Partners and Affiliates have a sub-committee that will be responsible for the international rank system development and promotions for their systems.Below is a list of martial arts that have representatives within the MAIF. Not all are represented systems have a sub-committee to administer their affairs, but these systems are made up of sincere and honest individuals who want to make the goals of "mutual respect and cooperation" a reality. Although these Martial Arts have different origins, goals and techniques, they all have a voice in the MAIF and have taken key leadership roles. Mutual Respect, Integrity, Honesty and Discipline as well as Cooperation are more than just words in the MAIF, they are lived every day by its members.
