About Us

The NIMAA was founded in late 2008 as a community, online directory and a resource repository for all Martial Artists in Northern Ireland.
 
As such our aim is to bring all Martial Arts in Northern Ireland together in a fair and open-minded manner, with an emphasis on tolerance and respect for all.
 
The NIMAA aims to recognise all styles, systems and students of the Martial Arts as equals.

The founder, and chief executive, is Sifu Jaymes Faulkner, a 4th Degree Black Sash instructor in Kung Fu with over twenty years Martial Arts experience.

We are currently wishing to hear from instructors and club owners from various styles to help set up an independent governing body to ensure that NIMAA provides the best service in the future that it can. If you think that you can help ensure the tradition of Martial Arts in Northern Ireland remains strong then please contact us.
