About the International Budo
Federation (UK)
 The
first UK representative was Mr Nobby Clarke 6th Dan in 1966. Nobby
[picture right] and his wife Margaret
established one of the biggest Multi Art Combat Associations in the
UK.
The current UK president of the IBF is his son Mr. Martin Clarke 8th
Dan.
Martin has given a much needed updated approach to Martial Arts in
the UK.
The IBF UK was one of the first organisations to recognise coaching.
This plays an extremely important part in the promotion of Budo
sports.
Martin has actively encouraged membership within the IBF UK and has
brought Karate, Judo, Sombo Wrestling, Jiu-Jitsu, Combat Ground
fighting, Shiai Jutsu, IBF Submission Wrestling-Belt Wrestling and
Kung-Fu all under the IBF(UK) banner.
