From the Mat to the MovieS
The World Kobudo is Launching a Global Martial Arts Talent Spotlight
Identifying performers for international stages and film — led by Alain Moussi
Where It Started — And Where It Leads
Before stepping onto international film sets, Alain Moussi was a young martial artist performing on World Kobudo stages — learning discipline, presence, and what it meant to represent martial arts with professionalism.
Those early experiences shaped more than his technical skill. They shaped his understanding of performance — how martial artists communicate control, intensity, and precision beyond the mat.
Today, in collaboration with the World Kobudo Federation, Alain returns to those same stages with a new role:
To identify, elevate, and mentor the next generation of martial artists ready for international stages — including film.
Before stepping onto international film sets, Alain Moussi was a young martial artist performing on WKF stages — learning discipline, presence, and what it meant to represent martial arts with professionalism.
Those early experiences shaped not only his technical ability, but his understanding of performance — how martial artists communicate skill, control, and intensity beyond the mat.
Today, in partnership with the World Kobudo Federation, Alain returns to those same stages with a new role:
To help identify, elevate, and mentor the next generation of martial artists who aspire to perform at the highest levels.
One Global Path. Three International Spotlights.
From the Mat to the Movies is not a single event.
It is a global journey — beginning at local WKF schools and culminating on the international stage.
As part of this initiative, select participants may be invited to take part in a future martial arts motion picture project involving Alain Moussi.
Opportunities may be offered through two distinct paths:
1: Performance-Based Selection
Standout show performers at the 3 listed World Kobudo Events may be identified based on:
- Skill, control, and execution
- Presence and professionalism
- Readiness for high-level performance
Those selected may be invited to participate in future projects involving Alain Moussi, based on merit and suitability.
2: Participant Opportunity Selection
In addition, participants in official Alain Moussi in-school events may also be eligible for a random selection opportunity.
One or more participants may be invited to appear in a future motion picture project involving Alain Moussi, independent of performance ranking.
Step 1: The Global School Event Tour
Official WKF × Alain Moussi Events at Member Schools Worldwide
This is not just where the journey begins — it’s where schools gain leverage.
When a World Kobudo member school hosts an official Alain Moussi event, they don’t just bring in a guest instructor — they position themselves at the center of a global initiative.
This is not a typical seminar.
It’s a high-energy, immersive experience that students talk about long after it’s over — and schools are proud to host.
Expect:
Exciting, dynamic training that feels different from anything else
A rare chance to train with a real martial artist who performs at the highest level
An atmosphere that motivates students, inspires confidence, and creates momentum inside the school
Host schools also gain access to professional event tools and systems built specifically for this initiative — designed to turn excitement into measurable growth long after the event ends.
Accepted host schools may also receive a World Kobudo Federation financial sponsorship as part of their event participation.
