Whether you are a martial arts practitioner, black belt, master, grandmaster, or school manager, connection with a likeminded community of martial artists matters. Humans, by design, need connection and support. We were never meant to go through the successes or struggles of life alone. You matter and being connected is important. And for those of us in leadership roles, we know that it’s lonely at the top. Some organizations and associations support their members well; however, many are overrun with politics, division, and strife. The United States Martial Artist Association is an inclusive community of martial artists that encourage, equip, and empower each other with mutual respect regardless of rank, position, title, style, or other attributes. Our diversity in styles, training systems, experience, and knowledge is at the core of our strength as a community. We celebrate and support each other, encouraging each other to achieve our highest potential both on and off the mat. We promote excellence, innovation, relevance, and cultural appreciation of martial arts.

There are additional benefits as a member beyond the connection to our community. These benefits include the opportunity to train at any member training center when traveling, reduced cost at seminars provided by our association or member black belts, reduced fees at tournaments promoted by our association or member black belts, rank recognition and promotions for black belts in accordance with our promotion guidelines, and access to other promotional items and events.
