WHAT is ADMA ?
American Defensive Martial Arts Association (ADMA) is restoring the honor and respect of the black belt. A growing number of unprepared instructors and complacent schools have weakened its once-proud reputation to a mere title.
ADMA intends to restore the pride, respect, and dignity that the black belt once commanded. Through renewed programs, guidance and community values ADMA members lead by example of honor, discipline and strength. Together, we will return the black belt to a symbol of greatness.
