*Police (checks required to teach at some schools, corporations and government departments)
*Risk Management policy (required to provide the appropriate duty of care for students / staff)
*General Policies/Procedures (required for student terms/conditions of membership-refunds etc)

WHO WE ARE
The International Martial Art Alliance (IMA) operates as the association and is funded by subscriptions and sponsorship from it's commercial arm Martial Arts Australia (MAA). Together they support instructors with resources to operate more safely and professionally. By being a martial arts association / alliance, a library of resources, a professional industry body and a large network of like minded school owners means training at a member school makes good sense.
