Oriental Martial Arts Society

"Dedicated to the Unity and

Brotherhood of the Martial Arts"

Oriental Martial Arts Society (OMAS), Inc. was established on 16 April 1985.  The sole purpose of this organization is to support and promote the Martial Arts as a whole.  The Board of Directors is a group of Martial Arts Students and Masters that are committed to the removal of the public's stigma about the Martial Arts.

Which stigma is that?  How many people do you know that think all Martial Arts are the same?  There are very specific similarities in all of the Martial Arts.  However, there are many unique differences between them also.  "We may not be Brothers and Sisters, but we are Cousins."  We are also committed to show the public that even though we may be different... we can  and will ultimately work together because of our common philosophies.

The other stigma that we are referring to is that "all Martial Arts are violent"!  This is so untrue.  The Martial aspects to our studies are nothing more than the tool that we all use for a common goal... discipline.  The Philosophy, Morality & Standards that each separate system has... qualifies it to be an "Art".  We do not support the Martial Sciences.  We are only interested in supporting the Martial Arts!

How do we support the Martial Arts?  We do this by sponsoring, promoting and educating various Schools, Instructors and Students of the Martial Arts.
