What is Rebel Martial Arts Association About?
✊️ Practicality: Believing TKD is a practical martial art, Master O'Leary has spent over 25 years developing practical self defence training methods based on the movements of TKD and it's base art Karate. This has resulted in a total martial approach to the practice of RMA TKD and there being a logical link from Traditional, to sport and self-defence training rather than they exist in contradiction of each other.
✊️ Freedom: Freedom for clubs to develop and grow under the ethos of it's head instructor rather than the organisation.
✊️ Family: RMAA is not an association, it is a family of like minded people who are interested in training TKD in a practical way, while still following a traditional path.
✊️ Why is it not called Rebel TKD? This is because we are not closed from the inclusion of other styles who may want to join this way of training, and it is through cross-training that we learn more about our art. This also reflects Master O'Learys mixed exploration of other martial arts over his years of training.
✊️ RMAA does not charge anything for membership. The only costs are for personal attendance of grading examiners or seminar instructors.
✊️ RMAA is part of the Irish Taekwon-Do Council. This gives you access to a growing movement within the Republic of Ireland with the Irish Taekwon-Do Council, a multi-association and independent TKD group who are pushing for equality and fairness for all Chang Hon TKD getting support from Sport Ireland with options for membership from Northern Ireland.
✊️ Membership of the International Taekwon-Do Council will bring you access to an ever growing multi-style TKD body from around the world, working together as one family. Access to world Masters and Grandmasters and Northern Ireland clubs can benefit with membership of the Taekwon-Do Council United Kingdom (TCUK), the UK branch of the International Taekwon-Do Council.
(Please note that the Irish TaeKwon-Do Council and the International TaeKwon-Do Council are not affiliated with each other)
