INTERNATIONAL MARTIAL ARTS CONFEDERATION
CONSTITUTION, CHARTER OF PRINCIPLES, AND PHILOSOPHICAL FOUNDATION
Established in 2005
Founder: Philosopher Super Grandmaster King Mohammadla Maryamond
Official Name: International Martial Arts Confederation (IMAC)
Foundational Motto: Strength Through Wisdom, Discipline Through Knowledge, Unity Through Peace.
Constitutional Vision: To unite martial arts traditions, scientific knowledge, philosophical wisdom, and ethical leadership in the service of humanity.
PREAMBLE
We, the members, practitioners, masters, instructors, scholars, researchers, and representatives of the International Martial Arts Confederation (IMAC), recognizing the universal value of martial arts as a discipline of physical development, intellectual cultivation, moral responsibility, cultural understanding, and peaceful coexistence, hereby establish this Constitution as the fundamental guiding document of our Confederation.
Founded in 2005 by Philosopher Super Grandmaster King Mohammadla Maryamond, the International Martial Arts Confederation is founded upon the principle that martial arts represent more than physical techniques or competitive achievements. They constitute a comprehensive discipline through which the human being may develop strength, self-control, wisdom, courage, respect, resilience, and a profound understanding of personal and social responsibility.
We recognize that the human body is a remarkable biological system, the mind is a center of learning and reasoning, and human consciousness enables reflection, ethical judgment, and the pursuit of meaning. Through the integration of physical training, scientific inquiry, philosophical reflection, and moral education, martial arts can contribute to the balanced development of the individual and the advancement of society.
We affirm that true mastery is not measured solely by physical power, rank, titles, victories, or technical proficiency. It is demonstrated through character, knowledge, humility, discipline, compassion, responsibility, and the ability to use one’s abilities for constructive purposes.
Accordingly, this Constitution establishes the identity, mission, principles, organizational framework, educational philosophy, and ethical responsibilities of the International Martial Arts Confederation.
CHAPTER I
NAME, ESTABLISHMENT, IDENTITY, AND LEGAL STATUS
Article 1 — Official Name
The organization shall be known as the International Martial Arts Confederation, hereinafter referred to as IMAC or the Confederation.
Its official name may be translated into other languages for educational, cultural, and international communication, provided that its identity remains clear and consistent.
Article 2 — Establishment and Founding
The International Martial Arts Confederation was established in 2005 by Philosopher Super Grandmaster King Mohammadla Maryamond, recognized in this Constitution as its Founder.
The founding vision was to establish an international framework capable of bringing together martial arts disciplines, philosophical traditions, scientific approaches to training, educational development, and the ethical principles of peaceful human coexistence.
The Confederation shall preserve its founding vision while remaining open to responsible innovation, academic inquiry, cultural diversity, and the continued development of martial arts.
Article 3 — Institutional Identity
IMAC shall function as an international martial arts organization dedicated to:
- The promotion and development of martial arts.
- The advancement of scientific and evidence-informed training.
- The integration of philosophy and ethics into martial arts education.
- The establishment of educational standards and instructor development.
- The encouragement of international cooperation and cultural exchange.
- The protection of practitioner safety, dignity, and well-being.
- The promotion of peace, discipline, and responsible leadership.
Article 4 — Legal Personality and Independence
The Confederation shall operate in accordance with the laws and regulations applicable in the jurisdiction or jurisdictions in which it is formally registered or conducts its activities.
Where permitted by law, IMAC may establish branches, affiliated academies, national representatives, regional councils, educational institutions, research committees, and other organizational bodies.
Its legal personality, authority, privileges, and obligations shall derive from applicable law and its valid registration documents, rather than from this Constitution alone.
Article 5 — Non-Discrimination and International Cooperation
IMAC shall welcome qualified individuals and organizations without unlawful discrimination based on nationality, ethnic origin, gender, language, social background, disability, or other protected characteristics.
Membership requirements may reflect legitimate technical, educational, safety, and professional standards, provided that they are applied fairly and consistently.
CHAPTER II
PHILOSOPHICAL FOUNDATIONS
Article 6 — The Unity of Body, Mind, and Character
IMAC recognizes that martial arts training can support the development of the body, the cultivation of attention and judgment, and the strengthening of personal character.
The Confederation adopts an integrated educational model comprising three interconnected dimensions:
A. The Physical Dimension
The physical dimension includes strength, flexibility, mobility, coordination, balance, endurance, posture, reaction, and technical proficiency.
B. The Intellectual Dimension
The intellectual dimension includes concentration, strategic reasoning, situational awareness, reflective thinking, learning, and the capacity to evaluate consequences.
C. The Ethical Dimension
The ethical dimension includes respect, honesty, self-restraint, accountability, compassion, humility, and the responsible application of acquired skills.
These dimensions shall be developed in a balanced manner. Physical ability without ethical responsibility, knowledge without practical discipline, and ambition without self-control are insufficient foundations for complete martial arts education.
Article 7 — The Philosophy of True Mastery
The Confederation recognizes mastery as a continuing process of learning rather than a final state of perfection.
A true martial arts master should demonstrate:
- Technical competence and continuous improvement.
- Intellectual openness and willingness to learn.
- Ethical consistency and respect for others.
- Emotional discipline and responsible judgment.
- Commitment to teaching and the development of others.
- Recognition of personal limitations and the value of scientific evidence.
No rank, title, certificate, or honorary distinction shall remove the obligation to act ethically or place an individual above legitimate safety requirements and organizational accountability.
Article 8 — The Principle of Strength and Responsibility
IMAC teaches that strength creates responsibility.
The more capable a practitioner becomes of influencing or physically harming others, the greater the practitioner’s obligation to exercise restraint, assess risks, prevent unnecessary injury, and protect vulnerable persons.
Martial arts knowledge shall be directed toward self-development, lawful self-protection, education, sport, cultural preservation, and constructive service to society.
Article 9 — The Philosophy of Peace
The Confederation regards peace not as weakness, but as the disciplined capacity to resolve conflict without unnecessary violence.
Practitioners shall be encouraged to develop communication skills, emotional regulation, conflict de-escalation, respect for human dignity, and the ability to distinguish between courage and aggression.
The highest purpose of martial arts education is not to create a desire for confrontation, but to cultivate individuals capable of exercising strength wisely and avoiding violence whenever reasonably possible.
Article 10 — The Principle of Intellectual Humility
IMAC recognizes that philosophical questions may admit multiple interpretations and that scientific knowledge develops through observation, testing, critical analysis, and revision.
The Confederation shall encourage dialogue between martial arts traditions, philosophy, psychology, biomechanics, physiology, pedagogy, and other relevant disciplines.
No philosophical belief shall be presented as a scientifically established fact without appropriate evidence, and no scientific claim shall be exempt from critical examination.

THE IMAC DECLARATION OF MARTIAL ARTS PHILOSOPHY
We believe that the human being is capable of continuous physical, intellectual, and ethical development.
We believe that strength acquires its highest value when guided by wisdom.
We believe that discipline is meaningful when it develops self-control rather than blind obedience.
We believe that knowledge becomes valuable when accompanied by responsibility.
We believe that courage must be balanced by compassion, confidence by humility, and ambition by integrity.
