The Global Martial Arts Association (or GMAA) is on a mission to unite the world of martial arts. Rather than creating division, conflict, or segregation – the association is imbued by the lightness of respect and compassion for all martial artists. The GMAA is a non-political organization dedicated to raising the standards of martial arts instruction, qualifications, and student progress in their own journey toward self-mastery. The association does not exist for the few, but for the many.
The Abundance Projects
To spread abundance to people and projects in need, we donate a significant portion of our net proceeds monthly. The Abundance Projects is not just about donating money. Mobilizing our students and certified instructors toward lofty goals of bettering their local communities. The Abundance Projects is an opportunity for martial artists to leave a positive mark on the world and live with a mindset of abundance rather than lack or worry.
