Institute of Martial Arts & Sciences

Promoting professionalism and quality in the martial arts worldwide

A New Vision for Professionalism in the Martial Arts

WELCOME


The IMAS is one of the first Recognised Professional Institutes for Martial Artists. Listed in British Qualifications and working with several partners, we operate globally from a network of regional bases worldwide.

A new concept in martial arts, the Institute of Martial Arts and Sciences is striving toward a more Professional and Academic future for our art form. Now an officially recognised professional Institute, the IMAS is growing rapidly, and is a Global Institute.

The IMAS was formed by a group of high ranking martial arts instructors, educators, researchers and academics. Together they make up our Faculty, and are dedicated to helping our students to learn and achieve. They act as tutors, supervisors, mentors, researchers and assessment/examinations officers. More information about our faculty, including a list of faculty members can be found in the relevant section of our website.
