Welcome Home
The International Alliance Of Martial Arts Schools is a online student support system driven by the co-operation of Martial Arts schools worldwide. The IAOMAS network allows all martial artists to continue to train wherever and whenever they travel. Simply, the IAOMAS has an online list of schools that have agreed to allow any martial artist FREE training for at least two weeks should they visit a particular area. Should the visiting martial artist be staying in that area longer, they can negotiate directly with the IAOMAS school they are visiting. This one-of-a-kind service is rendered through the generosity of volunteer schools and individuals who take care of a multitude of back end work (which includes the hosting of remote country-level directories) and who appreciate the ideals which the IAOMAS represents.
IAOMAS is NON-POLITICAL and NON-DENOMINATIONAL. We are a student support network, and our objectives are to improve the value each school brings to their students. We are open-minded, quality-conscious, and like to adopt an open mentality in the practice of martial arts. While IAOMAS was concieved to be a student support group, IAOMAS really is about creating a worldwide community that's welcoming to ideas, to friendship, to diversity, and to the recognition that we all share a passion for the martial arts.
IAOMAS is a volunteer coalition. We survive through the efforts of individuals who appreciate our ideals and who can contribute towards the running of the organization. If you have a special skill that can add value to our organization, please help us help YOU. Email: volunteer@iaomas.org. |
Clubs who join and whose members belong to the IAOMAS are those that are student-centric, that are confident in the value they offer, and those which understand the benefits of allowing students to explore opportunities and experiences beyond that which they initially signed up for. |
How easy is it to join the IAOMAS? Anyone can get involved. Everyone should get involved! Martial Art Schools have to allow any students from other international or regional IAOMAS affiliate members to train at your sessions 'free' for two weeks. Joining IAOMAS is free. There are no fees. |
