Who We Are

The Masters of the Martial Arts (MoMA) stands as a unifying beacon for senior practitioners across the world, created to recognize and connect a worldwide community of Masters dedicated to the preservation, elevation, and sharing of their arts. Our purpose is to provide a centralized, non‑biased platform where seminars, tournaments, and major events can be promoted with global visibility, maximizing participation while reducing scheduling conflicts that often divide our community. At its core, MoMA is a safe, collaborative space where Masters of all systems can exchange knowledge, support one another’s outreach efforts, and work together in a spirit of service. Through this shared framework, we aim to bring clarity, connection, and light into the world of martial arts.

Guardians serve as a distinguished body of senior leaders whose purpose is to uphold, protect, and reinforce the integrity of the Masters of the Martial Arts (MoMA) community. As trusted stewards, the Guardians provide spiritual grounding, ethical oversight, and professional guidance to ensure that every Master recognized within MoMA reflects the highest standards of character, discipline, and service. Their role extends beyond ceremonial presence—they act as advisors, mediators, and exemplars of conduct, safeguarding the unity and purpose of the global directory of Masters. Through their collective wisdom and unwavering commitment, the Guardians help maintain a culture of accountability, honor, and collaboration, ensuring that MoMA remains a respected and principled institution within the worldwide martial arts community.

MoMA maintains a continually expanding global directory of senior martial artists, documenting each Master’s verified credentials, headquarter location, and official website to ensure accuracy, legitimacy, and professional visibility. This directory serves as an authoritative registry that strengthens international recognition, supports cross‑style collaboration, and provides a centralized reference point for practitioners, event organizers, and institutions seeking to engage with established leaders in the martial arts community.
