World Meet: A Legacy of Global Unity and Martial Excellence

The World Meet is a prestigious annual event that unites the world through martial arts, cultural exchange, and the celebration of exceptional achievements. Founded by the visionary leader Dr. M.A. Ali, a 10th-level black belt and 6th-level Thai black belt master, this global platform has evolved from its humble beginnings into a renowned gathering attended by dignitaries, royalty, and martial artists from over 55 countries. The 8th World Meet 2026, set for May at the Royal Thai Army Club in Thailand, promises to elevate this legacy with the theme "Strength in Unity, Glory in Action!"

The Journey and Evolution of World Meet

The inaugural World Meet launched in 2019 with a small group of participating nations, laying the foundation for a movement that bridges cultures through martial arts. Its success spurred rapid growth, and by the 2nd World Meet in 2022, the event attracted a broader international audience, showcasing its potential as a global stage. The 3rd World Meet in 2023, held in Bangkok, Thailand, saw over 32 countries join, featuring luminaries like His Majesty Drs. R.H. Sany Waijaya Nataksuma SH and martial artist Ayesha Noor, cementing its prestige.

The 5th World Meet in 2024, hosted in Manchester, UK, under the stewardship of Shahid Mahmood, highlighted international awards, cultural performances, and inspiring speeches from Tony Taylor, Vice President, who underscored the event’s mission of global unity. The 6th World Meet on 28th January 2025 in Jakarta, Indonesia, at Tavia The Heritage, led by Her Royal Highness Princess Mufida Rayya Mubarok and His Excellency R.B. Abi Munawir al Madani Mertakusuma, will celebrate His Majesty King Sany Wijaya Natakusuma’s birthday on 31st January 2025 with a royal feast attended by over 2,500 royal family members.

The 8th World Meet 2026: A New Chapter

The upcoming 8th World Meet 2026 in May at the Royal Thai Army Club, Thailand, will be a landmark event. Under the guidance of Dr. M.A. Ali and supported by a dynamic committee, it will feature world-class martial arts demonstrations, a grand awards ceremony honoring global icons, and cultural showcases reflecting Thailand’s rich heritage. This event invites warriors and leaders to "Rise as Legends, Forge the Future!"
