Big news!! The International Budo Federation (IBF) is a multi-style martial arts organisation with branches in over 30 countries. The purpose of the organisation is to build a better martial arts community through stronger ties between clubs and organisations of various styles. This organisation is growing in Australia and has many benefits to offer. This group is not about pushing one martial art or person ahead of others but more about growing a network of skilled and honourable people who share a passion for the martial arts. I was recently offered the post of Queensland Representative for the Australian IBF and accepted this position without hesitation or reserve. This will mean some changes for us, all good I can assure our members. It is an honour to be asked to represent this great group in Queensland and I will be doing my best to be worthy of the position. OSU!
