The Global Goals
A first in the Maldivian martial arts community, we align our activities and targets to commit to "Transforming our world: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development". With the overarching aspiration of bringing people and the planet closer together and leaving no one behind, the 2030 Agenda is a unique opportunity to inspire global action for development worldwide, including in the field of Sport for Development and Peace. The Kung Fu Academy pledges to this initiative to drive martial arts in the community contributing to global safety, health, and welfare.
