Becoming an Olympic sport is the ultimate achievement and highest formal recognition possible for any sport.
Recognition is even more critical for the safeguarding of Kempo’s participants worldwide.
The challenges for Sport Kempo are great, but so are the opportunities, and the sport should have no lesser ambition.
We take our purpose and vision seriously and pledge to safeguard the trust invested in us by our national federations, as well as that of all other stakeholders of the sport.
We endeavour to earn this trust through our actions and by clearly communicating what the UWSKF brand stands for.
Our promise is to at all times deliver upon being Open, Dependable and Progressive.
