I am very glad that
you deliberate to look around on our sites. As an
uppermost representative and international coordinator
of the KIAB, I first of all once would sincerely like to
welcome you. Whether you found us now by recommendation,
by one of our community members or our advertisement,
doesn’t matter. Either way, you get to read these lines
and will hopefully enjoy. My execution to the subject
“Membership in Associations”, knocks internationally on
surprise. No wonder, I really try to coordinate an
association, that is unique. Many association directors,
presidents and leaders often promise the same, but
unfortunately it turns out different at the end. With us,
each member finds a friendly and familiar home in a
large family community. We help organize and coordinate
ourselves mutually and the respective country
representatives do it alike. If you read the following
pages attentively, you should actually loose your last
doubts and will get a good feeling.
As a burned
child, I am talking out of experience. They often promised me
that the associations, in which I thought to find a new home,
are free of sport politics. But unfortunately they did not hold
their promise. In 1993, I established the World Kun-Tai-Ko Budo
Association with new ideas and the hope to find Worldwide many
“Martial Arts friends”, that have the same opinion like me. An
association needs people who mutually help and support
themselves. People who are working for the athletes, our
students and masters. We don’t need belt hunter, black belt
mafia or money orientated battle athletes that try to pull the
last penny out of our members pockets. Germany’s problem is the
same like all around the World. Martial Arts officials always
inquire for licenses and give you lots of regulations as well as
innumerable ordinances. Those appear more and more in Martial
Arts and causes major problems. Inside K.I.A.B., you find only a
few regulations. All of you remaining in good standing as well
as are faithfull with K.I.A.B find a perfect home and new family.
Because we only have a very few rules, I insist on them, and
members have follow these guidelines and rules. According to my
opinion, people especially Martial Artists, must always be
honest in life.
Esspecially in the Martial Arts where we must depend always on
our partner, counts honesty and being faithful very much. In
case you decide to join us as a single member or with your Dojo,
large friendship and many interesting meetings, national and
international courses, tournaments and also training camps will
arise. We will have plenty of fun together and grow into a
colourful future..
With two well known Asian
wisdoms, I would like say WELCOME:

longest way is not long, with a friend on your side”
“Also a way of 1000 miles begins with a first step”
