On an educational level the International Martial Art Alliance / Martial Arts Australia was established to create a safe, non-political and friendly learning environment whereby martial art instructors of all styles from all countries could come together and share their experiences and techniques in a literal melting pot of martial arts knowledge.
We feel the more skills / qualifications martial art instructors have, the better equipped there are to operate their club successfully. We track down specialty martial arts business consultants and mentors and make them avaialable to help instructors create a safe, professional and rewarding enironment for their students and the general public. Part of our membership revenue goes towards recruiting these business consultants / mentors to run seminars for free or at a subsidised rate. This means help is available to every martial arts instructor and there is no excuse because of the price, it is just up to the instructor to alloacte the time. Specialty martial arts business consultants take the guess work out of running a school helping owners get the results they could only dream of. Instructors of course have to pay for this service but it is generally a small fee compared to the revenue their school will turn over following their direction. Some consultants work via email or by phone or through the seminar circuit. The business mentors generally work more closely (face to face) on a one to one basis which cosst much more but the results will be much better especially if you require more hands on guidance. Want to know more ask us to recomend someone for you.
If an instructor just requires resource material like generic posters, flyers, newsletters, power words, ciriculum help we can provide other material by working with other martial arts professional bodies like the National Association of Martial Arts Professionals NAPMA in USA see their page in our site. see their page in our site
