The Integrated Martial Art Systemis
a complimentary set of traditional martial arts bound together by a
common set of principles and concepts. All martial arts
require you to use your limbs to attack and defend, but unlike IMAS,
they do not do so in such a way that allows you to listen to, and
understand your own body and regain the natural athleticism that we
were all born with.




Much of this understanding was present in the ancient teaching of the
martial arts, but has been diluted, lost and misunderstood over many
generations. The in-depth knowledge of biomechanics provided
by the IMAS founding team, combined with their many years of
traditional martial arts training, has allowed us to rediscover the
true nature of training and how it applies to the human body as a
whole; both mind and body.







Our syllabuses for Wing Tsun Kung Fu and Escrima
Concepts Weapons are taught
individually, allowing the student to develop competence in each of the
arts before the begin to integrate them. Wing Tsun Kung Fu
teaches close-quarters combat that does not rely on strength or speed
and allows a student to become competent at defending themselves in a
very short amount of time. The same is true of our Escrima
Concepts Weapons curriculum that uses very similar principles and
concepts to Wing Tsun, and allows a student to become equally confident
with weapons in an equally fast timescale.
As well as these
training methods we teach the necessary concepts to combine the various
techniques into fighting strategies for both street self defence and
the competitive martial arts arena. We firmly believe that to
become a complete martial artist, one must be proficient in both
disciplines, and whilst mastery of these is not essential to become an
IMAS student, we encourage our members to experience as much as they
are comfortable with. IMAS students often find that once they
overcome their initial reservations that they enjoy both the reality
street defence and martial arts competitions.







In short, we provide the framework for you to become the best martial artist you can be, and develop in a way that suits your fitness and self defence
goals, without anybody applying their stereotypes or dogmatic
approaches to your training.
