National Martial Arts Alliance We Believe Martial Arts is for Everybody
Join Our Shimsan Family The National Martial Arts Alliance (NMAA) was founded by Master Jody Horn and Mrs.

Emma Horn in 2012 with their goal of creating a martial arts organization that offers more than just an affiliation for school owners. NMAA offers curriculum, instructor training, sales training, consulting, tournaments, community, events, and support. Combining all these things makes The National Martial Arts Alliance the premier martial arts school affiliation organization. We offer one on one consulting from school owners who have overcome many of the same obstacles you might be facing. Let our experience of running successful schools for over 20 years turn your passion into your profession. We have modern and up to date curriculum designed to keep students engaged and parents happy. You bring value to your school already, now let NMAA help bring that value directly to your clients. Imagine having 200 active students all happy in your program because they see the value and benefits that you and your school provide. We can help you get there! Contact us to find out how much money we can make you by becoming an affiliate today!

Not everyone who makes an impact at Black Belt Camp wears a black belt. 🐾

Some have four legs.

If you've attended Black Belt Camp or Worlds, there's a good chance you've met Zeke.

Master Erdman's dog has become a familiar face and a friend to many throughout the NMAA community.

And honestly, that's part of what makes a community special.

It's not just the events.

It's not just the training.

It's the people, and sometimes the dogs we meet along the way.

The familiar faces.

The unexpected friendships.

The little moments that become part of the memories.

Years from now, people may not remember every class or every event.

But they might remember Zeke. ❤️

Did you get to meet Zeke at Black Belt Camp or Worlds?

Some of the most important people at a martial arts competition aren't competing.

They're sitting in the stands.

Standing in the corner.

Helping tie a belt.

Giving encouragement before an event.

Celebrating a great performance.

Or reminding someone that one difficult moment doesn't define them.

Competition may happen on the floor.

But the experience belongs to an entire community.

Families.

Coaches.

Teammates.

Friends.

That's part of what makes martial arts special.

No one truly grows alone.

Tag someone who has supported you on your martial arts journey.

When parents ask, "Which martial art is best for my child?" there may be a bigger question underneath it.

What kind of person do I hope my child becomes?

More confident?

More disciplined?

More resilient?

More respectful?

More willing to try difficult things?

The style matters.

The instructor matters.

The environment matters.

But choosing a martial arts program is about more than choosing an activity.

You're also choosing the people, values, and community that will help influence your child.

Maybe the best question isn't just:

"What will my child learn?"

Maybe it's:

"Who might my child become?"

What qualities do you hope martial arts helps develop in your child?

People don't always stay in martial arts because of the belts.

Or the trophies.

Or even the kicks and techniques.

Sometimes, they stay because somewhere along the way, the people become part of their lives.

The instructor who believed in them.

The teammate who became a friend.

The parents they see every week.

The community that celebrates their wins and encourages them through the difficult days.

Martial arts may bring people into the room.

But often, it's belonging that keeps them there.

That's one of the most powerful things about being part of a martial arts community.

What has martial arts given you beyond the training?

One month later… and somehow it already feels like we need to go back. 🔄🔥

World Championships 2026 was more than competition.

The training.
The testing.
The victories.
The laughs.
The late nights.
The friendships.
The moments you don’t realize are going to matter until they’re already memories.

For one week, our NMAA family came together from all over, and then somehow it was over in the blink of an eye.

So here’s a little rewind. ⏪

Because some weeks deserve to be lived twice.

World Championships 2026. 🥋🏆

Who else is ready to run it back?
