The Gotham Martial Arts Coalition is the product of shared goals from a group of NYC based mixed martial arts clubs. These clubs were created with the intent to socialize martial arts training for anyone and everyone with a desire to develop their skills and knowledge, a desire to share their skills and knowledge, and a desire to cultivate our local martial arts community regardless of anyone’s style, system, background, or experience level.
As a result of meeting martial artists and exchanging skills while attending local public martial arts gatherings, the members of these groups realized and valued the importance of cross training with practitioners of different styles and skill levels. Over time the overlap of attendance for a given event would be nearly indistinguishable and might only be identified by the date, time, and location set by the group organizing the event.
The Gotham Martial Arts Coalition is at its core a way for people to connect with one another through martial arts training. This was achieved by creating communities where like-minded martial artists would be welcome to express their martial arts creativity in a safe and cultivating environment, and by growing these communities by supporting one another’s individual development which in turn supports the development of each of the clubs. As a result, its members not only develop strong martial arts skills, they develop a stronger sense of community and valued friendship.
