The U.F.A.F. Student
Under belt students of the art of Chun Kuk Do have an organization that they can belong to - we refer to it simply as U.F.A.F. short for United Fighting Arts Federation. Membership is mandatory for any student wishing to advance to black belt rank. U.F.A.F. requires candidates for advancement to the rank of 1st degree black belt in the art of Chun Kuk Do to be a member for a minimum of 3 years. The yearly dues for joining or renewing is $50.00.

Benefits of Membership
Students who join U.F.A.F. receive several meaningful tokens of membership. Among them include:

Chun Kuk Do uniform patch
Certificate of membership bearing Mr. Norris's signature
Membership card (also bearing Mr. Norris's signature)
Subscription to "The Octagon" (delivered to instructors, who then give them to current members)
Opportunity to receive official CKD certificates of rank
Opportunity to purchase CKD merchandise (T-shirts, jackets, etc.)

Despite this impressive list of benefits, some students may question the need to pay another $50.00 per year, over and above the regular dues that they pay for instruction. In such cases, students very likely don't understand how membership actually boosts the quality of their martial arts training.

U.F.A.F. is a membership organization which provides its member students, instructors, and schools with Chun Kuk Do rank certification, educational opportunities, special events, online community access, and other services.

Additionally, students have an opportunity to support Mr. Norris's Kick Drugs Out of America foundation - a great cause.

U.F.A.F. has always been about at least three things:
