We feel deeply humbled and grateful to have played a role in the growth of this industry and our focus remains steadfast: to provide instructors with the specific skills and resources they need to thrive.
Our Journey of Support: MAA began IN 1993 as a grassroots initiative, informal gatherings where instructors shared techniques.
Today, we have grown into a comprehensive peak body that offers:
- Essential Business Tools: Exclusive discounts on insurance, billing providers, club software, web development, finance, and accounting.
- Professional Development: Instructor gradings, formal instructor accreditation courses and business workshops.
- Industry Visibility: Raising the profile of our members through our publications, video content, TV programs, social media, business directories and industry awards.
Strength in Unity: Every major sector relies on a peak body to maintain industry standards, navigate legislation, and foster innovation. MAA serves as that pillar for the martial arts community. We are more than a service provider; we are a hub where business owners, corporations, and consumers connect under a shared standard of excellence.
We encourage all professional instructors to join us. Share your knowledge, elevate your profile, and connect with a network of thousands of like-minded professionals. Let’s continue to build a united industry together.
