The Nomination Process Begins Here
Induction into the United States Martial Arts Hall of Fame is a unique honor as it is comprised solely of martial artists who have made a difference in the lives of others. Each person recognized in this organization has uniquely contributed to the overall development of the martial arts and themselves.
While the majority of our nominees come from former inductees, candidates for induction may be nominated or recommended by anyone. All applications will be formally reviewed and submitted to the USMAHOF nomination committee after a vetting process that includes lineage, training history, and a background check.
This process helps assure that only qualified candidates meeting the high standards of the United States Martial Arts Hall of Fame are extended an invitation to join our Martial Arts Fraternity. Those candidates who are accepted are among the best of the best in their chosen field.
United States Martial Arts Hall of Fame Inductees Include:
First Row: Bruce Lee, Tak Kubota, Cacoye Canete, Mark Shuey, Bill Wallace
Second Row: Frank Shamrock, Gene Labelle, Gokor Chivichyan, Adrien Emperado
