We have this one opportunity to keep history alive. We are the only professional organization with an actual 8,000 square foot museum where people can actually enjoy and learn about the history of the martial arts. Help us keep this dream alive. We have been doing this for 27 years and it is our hope for another 100, 200 years more. But, we cannot do it with your support. It is only by your support that the museum can move forward with great plans.
