TEAMWORK MAKES THE DREAM WORK

The purpose of the Shimsan Athlete program is to highlight martial artists who positively represent our Shimsan family. This program helps increase awareness of the National Martial Arts Alliance to friends, family, and followers. These Athletes, who are motivated leaders, have a significant impact on the NMAA vision. They have a ‘can do’ attitude and love to have a lot of fun doing what they love - representing Shimsan!

“As a person who holds martial arts so close to their heart, I believe that I will make a great Shimsan Team Athlete not just because of my positive attitude and passion towards the National Martial Arts Alliance, but also for my ability and willingness to share Shimsan Taekwondo with as many people as possible, and to popularise it further across the world.”

”I’ve brought NMAA to South Africa helping NMAA go international! I’ve helped develop one of the strongest martial arts schools in our area and in our circuit in less than 5 years. I can bring an international face to the style showing the world wide spread of NMAA!”

”I am willing to try new things. You can't go through life with a "shoulda-coulda-woulda" attitude. You have to step out of your comfort zone. I give 100%. When I practice forms, I sweat. I believe that I can be a positive role model to others in the NMAA and beyond.”
