The NMA is currently represented throughout South Africa with over 76 Dojo’s and over 3000 students. Anyone can join! Be it an individual, small club or Organization, we accept you! We don’t interfere with your own style and put no demands on you other than supporting the NMA at the National Tournaments.
You gain the most by your students being able to be selected to travel overseas to compete in World class Tournaments and we do all the hard work. We also offer assistance from anything like having our own company manufacturing equipment and uniforms, to assistance with Gradings, Book keeping, Marketing & Advertisement and of course being available for seminars in every aspect of what we teach. Gradings are done through world recognized Affiliation, and the emphasis here is on the word “RECOGNIZED”.
Our Dojo Motto/Creed is “we are here to train with one another, not against each other”. There is absolute no over focus on competitive students. All our students are treated with equal respect.
Our grades are recognized internationally in over 95 countries and we compete locally, Nationally and Internationally every year under the ISKA affiliation of which we are the head of in South Africa. Our training is hands on and all Instructors are tested and licensed annually.
