About Our Leadership & Governance
When you align with our academy, you are not just joining a gym; you are entering a structured system with recognized state and national oversight. Our governance—verified by international bodies like IACS and TAFISA—ensures that every certificate issued and every championship title earned has a legal chain of custody. This framework is what separates a local practice from a nationally competitive organization.
Institutional Transparency and Structure
At the National Martial Arts Academy (NMAA), we believe that credibility is earned through rigorous administrative standards. Our leadership, spearheaded by Master B.K. Bharat, operates under a democratic assembly model. This ensures that policy decisions, from the National Martial Arts Games rules to state-level governance charters, are made with the input of affiliated members and regional representatives.
Why Our Affiliation Matters
For academy owners and trainers, we provide more than just a brand name. Our affiliation process connects you to the National Martial Arts Committee (NMAC-India) and the Association for National Sports Federations (ANSF). This integration provides:
- Legal Authority: The right to issue Kyu-grade belt certifications that are recognized for school and government records.
- Tournament Eligibility: Direct access to field official teams in our sanctioned State and National championships.
- Institutional Backing: Access to our Dr. B. R. Ambedkar Sports Foundation network, which holds Special Consultative Status with the United Nations.
International Pathways
Our influence extends beyond India. By leading the Asian Traditional Sports and Games Association (ATSGA) and maintaining membership with the World Martial Arts Games Committee (WMAGC), we bridge the gap between Indian traditional sports like Mallyuddha and global competitive platforms. Our General Assemblies are not just symbolic; they are the forums where we secure international selection trials for our athletes, providing a verified path from local training to world-class competition.
National Martial Arts Academy
We are a mission-driven organization built to give every athlete and coach a legitimate path to national recognition. We handle the paperwork, the affiliations, and the official standards so you can focus on the sport.
