The United States Martial Arts Association (USMAA) is a non-profit
organization first incorporated in 1995. To avoid the destructive effects of politics, the USMAA, like most not for profit
corporations, has a permanent Governing Board, which guides the policies of the USMAA.

Artists. These services include:
- A national and international seminar program to provide expert
instruction in the Martial Arts to all our members.

- The finest Junior and Senior National Martial Arts and
Law Enforcement Defensive Tactics Training Camp in the country.
- The most beautiful Life Membership and promotion certificates in the
industry.
- The support of coaches and athletes who aspire to national and
international excellence.

The USMAA has published a series of books and videos on the Martial Arts, created by O-Sensei
Phil Porter and other experts. These include the "The 65 Throws of Kodokan Judo."
With more than 10,000 members, the USMAA is the center of American Martial Arts. It is the only
organization devoted to all Martial Arts without exception. We are the rallying point for all leaders, whatever
their arts, who are devoted to the true spirit of the Martial Arts and who wish the progress and prestige of the
Martial Arts to continue to grow.
