CORPORATE SPONSORSHIP

Sponsorship Introduction

Every year, the World Open Martial Arts Championship (WOMAC) attracts hundreds of elite level national and international competitors. They gather here in Boston to compete for medals and cash prizes, with diverse divisions in Kung Fu, Karate, Taekwondo, Wushu, Tai Chi, Weapons, Sparring, Judo, and Chinese Wrestling. Organized by the World Fighting Martial Arts Federation (WFMAF), a nonprofit organization established in 2009, the U.S. Open Martial Arts Championship is one of the premier martial arts competition events in the East Coast of the United States. This is the 13th year of our tournament, which will be held on October 5th at Reggie Lewis Track & Athletic Center, at Roxbury Community College in Boston.

The U.S. Open Martial Arts Championship provides an opportunity for martial arts practitioners of all ages and abilities to come together and show their martial arts skills in healthy and fair competition. Our championship is nationally and internationally recognized, and we are honored by the words of New York State Senator John J. Flanagan, who publicly commended our event for “exemplary service to the community and State in providing an opportunity for martial arts organizations to come together in their noble aims and accomplishments, in their unique professional achievements, in their good citizenship, and illustrate these qualities for the edification and emulation of others.”

In addition to the large number of competitors and spectators who participate in our championship, we also receive substantial internet viewership, from a large audience nationwide, before and after the event. On Google search engine, our competition website is ranked first among martial arts competition websites using the following keywords:

• martial arts competition(s)
• martial arts tournament(s)
• martial arts event(s)
• kung fu competition(s)
• kung fu tournament(s)
• kung fu event(s)

Based on this Google search engine rankings, it is clear that our competition has developed into one of the top nationally and internationally recognized martial arts competition brands.

Besides the popularity generated by our website, we are also highly engaged with social media promotion. We post regular updates about our competition using written texts, photos, and videos on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter pages. With our YouTube Channel, we post competition video highlights and full competition videos from our championship. Many of our videos have several thousand views, and several of our videos are ranked on the first page on YouTube using specific keywords such as martial arts competition and Kung Fu competition.

In addition to posting directly on our social media pages, we also frequently post updates to over 200 Facebook martial arts groups, as well as get online and in-person exposure from the many collaborating martial arts schools, organizations, community TV stations and newspaper media, and individuals. The audience in each of these promotional channels range from a few hundred members to over 50,000 members. Using the tools of our websites and social media sites, we will showcase your company’s brand, products, or services to all of these large audience engagement channels, thus reaching more effectively a focused target audience and diversified audience in New England, nationwide, and globally. If your company is focused more on doing business in the Greater Boston Area or New England, we can help you reach a more concentrated audience.  Moreover, this year, having the good fortune of holding our event in the Field House at the Reggie Lewis Track & Athletic Center, we will have an 8-way camera stream of the competition, with sponsor logos projected onto the Center’s large jumbotron, and will have ample sponsor and vendor table arrangements to further promote your company and brand, both at the event, and on the online and TV media outlets when we release the video compilations after the championship. Your tax-deductible contribution (monetary and/or in-kind) and support is graciously received by the WFMAF who uses all of it to defray the costs of the actual competition.
