University & School Adaption
The global growth and expansion of Kowat Alrami have inspired several WFKA member countries to integrate the sport into local school and university curriculums. Jordan, for example, has already incorporated Kowat Alrami training and competitions into its college sports programs.

The WFKA encourages other member countries to take similar steps in integrating Kowat Alrami into their educational systems. Embedding martial arts training in schools and universities not only promotes physical fitness, discipline, and mental resilience, but also opens the door to local tournaments and events, fostering a competitive spirit within the student body.
