The
United Martial Arts Federation
The
United Martial Arts Federation (UMAF) was created in late
1986 by Grand Master Young K. Kwon. It's logo reflects a foundational
philosophy. The
logo is embellished by the six colors which represent the original belt system
of the federation: white, orange, green, blue, red and black.
Um/Yang: the circle in the center represents the essential
unity of all being. The blue section Um, and the red section Yang, represent
the ancient symbol of the creation of the Universe, constant movement
within the sphere if infinity; there is also balance and harmony. This
oriental symbol represents the universal concepts of opposing but complimentary
forces, fire/water, day/night, hot/cold, etc. |
