Welcome to IBF Australia.

The International Budo Federation is a multi-style martial arts and combat forms association which is represented in more than 25 different countries. It was formed in Holland in the mid 60's by Pieter Schonewille, 10th Dan, and was one of the first organizations to promote international competitions for all its members, not just for an elite few.

Are you are interested in enhancing your martial arts skills? Have you lost your peer or have you founded your own style? Need a way to get your club public exposure?

The IBF Aust. can help in the following areas:

• Gradings for Yudansha and Mudansha if required.
• Advice and assistance in workshops, seminars and insurance.
• International accreditation and recognition.
• Authorised to award diploma.

In Australia the IBF is one of the largest "multi-style" organizations actively involved in building the martial arts community.

Our goals are to:

• Support the free exchange of ideas, concepts, and techniques.
• Give members greater exposure to the public with recognition and links to their websites.
• Support local training days, competitions and interclub visits and to improve martial arts.
• Build a community of support and recognition.
• Help with advice and contacts here and overseas.
• Create local peer groups for guidance and developing good relations.
• Build good relations with other organizations that may have a different focus or benefit.
• Be an active organisation, and to promote good martial arts events and news.
• To uphold the integrity of Budo.
  

The IBF Aust. is always looking for leaders with passion and integrity to make things happen.
