I.M.A was established and is run by Grand Master Baek Lee, Master H Lee, Master Yoon. Master Park, Master Mun, Master Kim. For the Masters, there was a passion to contribute their experience and knowledge to the larger community. They wanted to pass on warmth and peace to their community by focusing on not only helping students learn to protect themselves and their friends from bullies but also educate them on how to build a good and productive life by building positive behavior and developing the confidence needed for a successful life. The program has found success as it integrates into the student’s daily life by setting and respecting home rules, setting goals, and reporting and communicating their accomplishments as well as identifying areas needing further improvement. I.M.A’s methodology focuses on structure, accountability, and enjoyment as fundamental to students achieving these goals.
As I.M.A looks to the future, a few additional Academy locations will be established in 2024, and by 2025 additional schools will have joined the Association. During this same time frame, year-long internship programs become available for additional Masters to develop and share their skills throughout the Association. U.S. Martial Arts is excited to be part of the International Martial Arts Association and is looking forward to sharing resources and development in combination with other I.M.A affiliated schools and future schools that join I.M.A.
