Martial Arts Alliance History

The International Martial Arts Alliance has long been accepted as an industry peak body for martial art instructors and the group started as a concept way back in the mid-1980s when Graham Slater was traveling extensively to many martial arts schools around the globe. Martial Arts Australia was created 2002 as an extension of the global body specifically to support the local industry on a national level.

Graham has always trained and exchanged ideas / concepts with various instructors as a ‘circle of knowledge’ learning environment. He created a small following of martial artists who would get together every month or so to train however this grew substantially and was formalized as the International Karate Alliance in 1993. The concept of being open minded enough to share and learn from other martial artists was launched in England, Japan and Australia simultaneously and soon expanded to 15 countries by 1996. Most people are drawn initially to the IMA seeking the cheapest prices for martial arts insurance but this is only the tip of the iceberg to what this alliance can offer you. They now produce Martial Arts TV Shows and Magazines to showcase even more martial arts instructors. This makes martial arts more appealing to the general public. By getting more people into martial arts it helps all school owners and that means you!
