The United States Kido Federation* is devoted to the promotion of TaeKwon-Do, Hapkido, and other martial arts that originated in Korea as they continue to develop, adapt, and grow in the United States.  Innovation and tradition combine to make a unique organization free from external political influence and rich in educational opportunities.

The USKF is a growing federation of martial arts schools originally organized in a response to an increasing educational void within the martial arts community. School and Dan rank membership in the organization is not guaranteed, however; if accepted members can expect superior support from the USKF. Our mission is to provide quality service to members through unique cooperative training opportunities, recognizable rank certifications, school charters, and tournament support.

A key difference between the USKF and many other alternative organizations is support tailored to member needs. The federation has minimum standard requirements, but otherwise does not impact the running of individual member schools in any way. 

Join us to find out what means to be part of a positive, growing marital arts association.


GOVERNANCE

The United States Kido Federation is governed by advisory board members and administrated governed by the USKF President (and staff). Governance input is received from members, instructors, and chartered schools.  Each branch of the USKF has a volunteer Advisory Board assigned to review standards and information requests.
