What is it?
The International Alliance Of Martial Arts
Schools is a student support system, the co-operation of Martial Arts schools worldwide to
allow all martial arts students to continue to train wherever they go (ie. On holiday,
vacation, work etc.). Its good for all students involved (through the club) & good for
instructors to be able to offer training where-ever their students are in the world.
Whose Involved?
Any one can get involved. Obviously you
have to allow students from other clubs to train at your school `Free` & yours are
offered the same, worldwide. Joining is free, no fee's, no politics, just real,
unblickered martial artists.
Whats the deal?
Simply, it's a list of schools (or will be) in
as many countries as possible, that agree to allow any student (from schools involved)
`FREE` training, for at least two weeks, should they visit that country (or area).
This is `NON-POLITICAL`, and is based on individual school instructors. Should the
visiting student be staying in that area longer then they can negotiate further with the
instructor. Please visit the `country` site you are intending visiting & contact the
school via email / telephone & let them know you are coming (Give them dates etc.,
comfirm its okay & get any other details you require)
How can my school become part of this?
Email the `Country` site where you are based
with your schools details (see below). If you are a student, who wants to be the main
contact for your school you should of course gain your instructors permission/approval
first. Then, put a IAOMAS link on your web site (in a prominant place) & link it to
the main countries IMOMAS web page (like this), there are no links (except for the school
links) so each visitor shall be returned to your website when they are done.
Guide Lines
1. Of course, it goes without saying that clubs
should treat visiting students with respect (no matter what the style), theres a section
to say if you would prefer your own-style only to be able to visit
2. Students should follow the clubs rules/codes of conduct etc. at all times.
3. Students represent their clubs/instructors & may cause their schools to become
disassociated if they cannot behave!.
4. Complaints from visting students (about the schools they visited) or from School
Instructors (about visiting students) should be dirrected towards the `Main Country` web
site for consideration if that club should be disassociated.

5. There is no `I`m better than you` attitudes allowed or needed from anyone. At the end
of the day we are all Martial Artists & should behave like one (ie. no egos).
