Mission Statement
Building personal and collective strength, safety, and well-being through martial arts, self-defense, and healing arts, to empower women and others affected by gender-based discrimination.
The National Women’s Martial Arts Federation (NWMAF) is an organization of practitioners of the martial and healing arts and self-defense who identify as women, transgender, or non-binary, and their allies. Its purpose is to share skills and resources, to promote excellence in our practices, and to encourage the widest range of people to train in the spirit of building individual and collective strength.
All people are welcome regardless of age, race, color, religion, class, sexual orientation, national origin, disability, or physical condition.
We cherish martial arts, self-defense, and healing arts as paths of self-discovery and transformation and as a means of transforming ourselves and the world in which we live. We find strength in one another's challenges and promote an awareness and appreciation of our differences.
Our organization offers many benefits to members, including our signature summer conference as well as our comprehensive empowerment self-defense certification and training for self-defense instructors.
