Welcome to the American Style Nunchaku Federation
The ASN Federation welcomes martial artists, nunchaku practitioners and all people interested in the nunchaku world wide!
The ASN Federation was founded by Nunchaku-Grandmaster Michael L. Burke in March 2010. The headquarters is located in Virginia, USA. The purpose of the federation is to act as authority and main organization within the martial art of American Style Nunchaku. Grandmaster Burke founded the American Style Nunchaku in 1992 as a complete martial art with its own ranking system, making nunchaku training also available to those people who were not interested in traditional karate or kobudo. The ASN Federation’s mission is to regulate ranking procedures and instructor certification, and bring structure to the American Style Nunchaku.
The American Style Nunchaku Federation is THE ONLY authority in American Style Nunchaku in the world. Ranks not issued by the ASN Federation or by a ASN-Certified Instructor are not considered valid. We therefore invite all ASN Practitioners to have their ranks renewed and recognized by the ASN Federation.
