WHO ARE WE?
For the past centuries, we have been the people least expected as martial Artist. We train behind closed doors. Nature of what we do is hidden from the public eye, yet we share what we know with others who seek to better themselves through martial arts. Our practice is the essence of our daily lives. We are people from all walks of life and perhaps even your neighbor. If you ask us if we are involved in martial arts most of us would say "No." Because, most of us do not care to be associated with the main stream of the martial arts, the fads, and the publicity that goes along with it. If you ask us if we train, most would say "not very much." Yet in actuality, most of us live to train and live our lives by the code of martial arts.

Tao International Martial Arts Association currently has worldwide membership. Due to nature of our organization, we attract thousands of people each year to our website. Some join, some just pass by. Some individuals are just curious, some are long term martial artists, some people are just starting out on their path.

We exist to unite but, we are not a typical Martial Arts organization that is common today. Our organization is based on Tao, the original pure philosophy of Martial Arts. We teach traditional martial arts, however we refuse to present tradition in a westernized-eastern way. We have no interest in making martial arts more palatable to the masses, so that more and more people who have no appreciation for what martial arts can offer, will join classes all over the world. Practice of martial arts has always been an exclusive activity, non relative of bottom line.

We are a membership organization. However, due to its' traditional nature, our organization does not publicly disclose names or relative information of it's existing members, it's schools and it's activities. This is an organization for the martial artist. As it has been for centuries among martial artists, secrecy is our binding force. Only way anyone can locate a members' qualifications and credentials through our site is only if one knows exactly who they are looking for. We are a global reference source for those who need to know. All materials and certifications issued by the association carry global reference identifiers such as the web address to the Association, serial numbers on certificates etc., which may be used to check the legitimacy of and credentials of an individual anywhere in the world.

This organization is based on Sacred Tenets of Martial Arts. These are the tenets long forgotten, or conveniently ignored for the sake of commercialization of Martial Arts. We do what we do, to the best of our ability without openly taking credit for the difference we make. Helping others has been the unquestionable duty of the martial artists for thousands of years. Our goal has never been doing good deeds simply for the sake of publicity.

We are a global network of Martial Artist - Grand Masters, Masters and Instructors on the path of Tao, the pure philosophy and essence of martial arts.
