Executive

Representatives Duties

Representatives at every level have specific purposes and duties, one of which is to invite all martial arts groups and individuals in their countries and regions to register free of charge with the World Martial Arts Council, and to promote its activities, seminars, competitions, and other events. All martial arts must be included, and not only those practiced by the representatives, which involves a level of research to learn about other organizations and associations already established.  An email invitation, a personal recommendation, or a telephone call directing people to our website is all that is required.  All representatives must be part of a Regional or National Organizing Committee within their countries where possible to arrange competitions, seminars, and events.

International Commissioners

There shall be only one International Commissioner for each designated geographical area in which a number of countries are located.  These will interact with, and oversee, all International Representatives of the countries within their international boundaries, and must assist in appointing these for all the countries within their jurisdiction.

International Representatives

There shall only be one International Representative in every country.  These will interact with, and oversee the National Representative, and represent their country at international level.  The first task of all International Representatives is to establish one suitable National Representative for their country.

National Representatives

There shall be only one National Representative in every country that will interact with, and oversee, all Regional Representatives within their national boundaries.  The first task of all National Representatives is to establish WorldMAC National Organizations and to register these using the Free Group Registration system. The name of these must be shown as WorldMAC followed by the name of the respective country such as ‘WorldMAC Nigeria’ for example. They must then provide a list of the various regions, states, provinces, or counties within their countries, and establish one suitable Regional Representative for each of these.

Each country must be divided into three major areas for competitions and seminars, so there are Northern, Central, and Southern, or Western, Central, and Eastern regions. Only people residing in one of these three regions will be allowed to participate in events in their own areas, and not allowed to participate in events in any other region. This is essential when qualifying for annual National Championships.  National Representatives are also responsible for establishing Regional and National Organizing Committees, along with an appropriate bank account.

Regional Representatives

There shall be only one Regional Representative for each region, state, province, county, or the name of any other geographical division within a country.  These will interact with, and represent, all individual martial artists and groups within their regional boundaries.  The first task of all Regional Representatives is to assist with listing all martial arts groups within their regions, together with their e-mail addresses or other contact details.

Requirements

All representatives must be individually registered with the WorldMAC Alliance and be in possession of an individual registration number.  Representatives are not required to be physically involved with the martial arts, but must be prepared to contact and interact with all martial arts groups without preference, prejudice, or interference of any kind.

Important Notes

The World Martial Arts Council does not employ representatives.

All martial arts groups must be treated with respect and given equal opportunities.

All representatives are expected to work together in their respective countries to organise events, seminars, and competitions, all of which must be self-financing.

All representatives must establish national teams for each competitive martial art active within their countries.

To be a representative at every level requires work and effort, which involves being continually active.

Applications to become representatives must be accompanied by the following:

1.  Name and full postal address.
2. WMAC individual registration number.
3. Present grade or title if any.
4. Relevant experience regarding the above duties and responsibilities.
5. One recent passport photograph with a white background.

Do ensure all the above can be fully complied with as the World Martial Arts Council will immediately remove anyone acting to the detriment of its international status, or discovered to be abusing these positions of trust, financially or otherwise.

*Please e-mail the above five requirements to wmac@worldmac.org

National Designation & Logo

Regardless of the individual names of group registrations, all working groups formed by the various representatives must be named as a national body for all martial arts in their country, and must be registered with the World Martial Arts Council as outlined above. This is essential when applying for funding or sponsorship from government or business sources. It is better for these to deal directly with one national body rather than a number of individual groups or associations. The badge for the national registered group must be that of the World Martial Arts Council with the British flag removed and replaced with the flag of the country concerned. Everything else must remain the same except the name of the country must be added, and the typeface must not be changed. Below is the logo of the World Martial Arts Council and that of Nigeria with the British flag replaced by that of Nigeria, and the country name added. All national logos must be in this format and approved.
