Attention: The WHDA has some great news for 2010. We have been working on a change for the past several months. We have
listened to what you, the students, schools and instructors were asking for. After 10 Years of service the WHDA announces
effective immediately 2010 The WHDA will break off the Chinese and Korean martial arts into their own Associations.
You are able to request membership at this time, however the official launch date for these organizations is 02/01/2010.
Each will work independent of the other and from the WHDA. Each will have it's own 3 person board. The President of each association
will be responsible to oversee your progress and memberships.
Your test fee waivers will carry over to the new associations as well as your course material.
All new videos are being produced for the Korean martial arts and the Chinese martial arts. The new DVDs will be done
in the same format as our current Japanese martial arts which are designed as teaching DVDS. The new courses will include:
Hapkido, Tae Kwon Do, Korean Grappling, Kumdo and Korean Kick Boxing. All of these martial arts will be under the "All Korean
Martial Arts Association." Tai Chi, Kung Fu, Weapons and Chin Na will be under the "Wushu Institute for Chinese Arts."
All of the new DVDs will be produced by the WHDA Production Staff. We have upgraded our DVDs
and equipment to bring you state of the art teaching DVDS. This is why we are currently changing the prices to reflect the
cost of materials, mailings and distribution as well as upkeep. We will no longer purchase reference material from outside
sources or suppliers. Your current course DVDS and the reference techniques and test material will always
be valid for your current style, even under the new associations. Advance rank DVDs will be available as well for
those wishing to move up in rank. Again, we look forward to serving you and feel this will be in the best interest of the
members and schools to enhance your goals. Thank you and be blessed.

New member web sites for Chinese and Korean Martial Arts.
The WHDA will stay with the Japanese, Eclectic, Philippine and American Martial Arts only.
Please visit these sites for new mailing addresses and email addresses for submitting your member information and test
submissions for rank advancement. You will need to fill out a new member, school and or instructor form for membership. All
memberships are free.
Attention students, schools and instructors or potential customers. We no longer take personal paper checks by mail effective
February 1st, 2010. You may pay by credit card or online through your checking to protect you the consumer, and the WHDA.
Please allow 2-3 weeks for delivery.
Welcome to the World hombu Dojo Association's
Distant Learning School. Please visit anytime. We are not a diploma mill. Do not think we issue rank without it being earned
first. Our instructors and affiliates operate live (actual schools you walk into and can train in with regular classes)
Dojos and training schools around the world. We offer some of the best home study martial arts programs in the world. We are
committed to your goals in the martial arts. We are always available by Phone, email, web cam, mail, fax, etc.
We challenge
anyone seeking martial arts to come up with better training for the cost. It can not be done. Do not be fooled by thinking
going to a local school to train will make you a competent martial artist. Not everyone that opens a school was at the top
of their martial art's class when they received their black belts and decided to open a martial art school or become part
of a franchise or join a chain of schools. With the World Hombu Dojo Association you earn your black belt and receive the
same certificates given through our live dojos. We use the best reference material for testing on the market today. The reference
material covered on the DVDs and in writing are fully licensed to us for distribution. You receive your certificates from
the WHDA or an affiliate and not neccassarily from the instructor(s)on the DVDs. If you are an instructor and you are looking
to add to your current knowledge or wanting to add a program to your current school we are the place for you. Many schools
and association, federations and martial art unions close up or charge ridiculous amounts of money to make you feel legitimate.
That is a shame. Their are some very good organizations around the world, however, their are more scams and politics in most
organizations than you want to deal with. Nothing is more frustrating than starting at a local independent school or
chain martial art school only to have it close it's doors due to not enough business in the area to sustain the school's operation.
This is the real scam on students and instructors who are left holding the bag with no where else to train or complete their
martial arts goals. We have been in business for over twenty years and are still growing every year. The only one you need
to worry about quitting once you start is you! We are here to support and guide you in any way we can to help you achieve
your martial art goals. Thank you,
Grand Master Frank Williams
WHDA President

as you or your partner needs independently to test.
