Q: WHAT IS SELF-DEFENSE?
Self-defense is a set of awareness, assertiveness, verbal confrontation skills, safety strategies, and physical techniques that enable someone to successfully escape, resist, and survive violent attacks. A good self-defense course provides psychological awareness and verbal skills, not just physical training.

Q: DOES SELF-DEFENSE WORK?
Yes. Self-defense training can increase your options and help you prepare responses to slow down, de-escalate, or interrupt an attack. Like any tool, the more you know about it, the more informed you are to make a decision and to use it.

Q: MUST I TRAIN FOR YEARS TO LEARN TO DEFEND MYSELF?
No. A basic course can offer enough concepts and skills to help you develop self-protection strategies that you can continue to build upon. It does not require years of study to perfect. 

Q: IF I USED PHYSICAL SELF-DEFENSE COULD I GET HURT WORSE?
The question to answer first is what does "hurt worse" mean? Rape survivors speak eloquently about emotional hurts lasting long after physical hurts heal. Studies show a physical self-defense response does not increase the level of injury, and sometimes decreases the likelihood. Also, people going along with the attacker have sometimes been brutally injured anyway. The point of using self-defense is to de-escalate a situation and get away as soon as possible. Knowing some physical techniques increases the range of possible self-defense options, but the decision to choose a physical option must remain with the person in the situation.

Q: AM I TOO YOUNG OR TOO OLD? OUT OF SHAPE? WHAT IF I HAVE SOME DISABILITIES?
You don't have to be an athlete to learn how to defend yourself. A good program is designed to adapt to every age and ability and provides each student with the opportunity to learn. Each individual is unique and students should be able to discuss their own needs. Some programs have specialized classes for specific groups.

Taking a self-defense class is one of the most positive acts anyone can do for themselves! "National Coalition Against Sexual Assault by the NCASA Self-Defense AD-HOC Committee"

North American Institute of Martial Arts and Sciences

        Thank you for visiting the internet home of the North American Institute of Martial Arts and Sciences (NAIMAS), a 501(c)3 Non-Profit Corporation. This website is intended as your source for information on the NAIMAS.

        The North American Institute of Martial Arts and Sciences is established for educational, social, scientific, athletic and benevolent purposes; to unify American martial artists with a foundation of mutual respect; to provide services and guidance to foster technical excellence, fellowship, human character development; to promote and provide the scientific approach in martial arts instructor’s education that should result in healthier (working) population with increased professional and competitive skills and capabilities to represent the USA worldwide; to outline and establish minimum training levels for the granting of professional degrees in the martial arts which correspond to those earned through education in other fields and offer a full range of professional degrees and set the standard for the future issuance of professional degrees in martial arts.
         The NAIMAS has a purpose of developing academic programs for the award of Associate of Science in Martial Arts Education (A.Sc.) and the professional title of Martial Arts Coach, Bachelor of Science in Martial Arts Education (B.Sc.) and the professional title of Martial Arts Senior Coach, Master of Science in Martial Arts Education  (M.Sc.) and the professional title of Martial Arts Master Coach, and Doctor of Philosophy in Martial Arts Education  (Ph.D.) and the professional title of Martial Arts Professor. These degrees are designed for  martial artists everywhere, who desire standard degree recognition for their years of grueling training, which corresponds to those  obtainable through every other area of study known to man; to recognize and establish standards by which professional martial artists may receive formal recognition for having unselfishly devoted their lives to continuing education, personal growth, and maintaining the standard of excellence in the task of educating the next generation of students and  potential instructors.
        NAIMAS is governed by the Board of Governors: a President (Dean, Chancellor), a Vice-Chancellor, a Secretary - Treasurer, a Board of Regents (Professors, Adjunct Professors) and a Board of Trustees.
         All officials of the Institute shall be required to possess the highest academic and martial arts qualifications, and shall specialize in all aspects of the martial arts known throughout the world. Each martial art in which the Institute conducts programs and confers degrees will be studied as a way of life including activities and project areas in the psychomotor, cognitive and effective educational domains. The NAIMAS shall be an equal opportunity institution under federal equal opportunity guidelines. It shall not discriminate among applicants in admission, educational policies, scholarship, and fees on the basis of race, religion, sex or ethnicity, recognizing no specific geographical boundaries nor restrictions.
        The Institute shall reserve the right to change programs of study, academic requirements, and the Institute policies at any time, in accordance with procedures established by the Board of Regents, without prior notice. The major obstacle has always been accreditation and recognition by the powers in the academic world. No academic administrative authority has the knowledge or authority to regulate education in the martial arts. NAIMAS Board of Governors has decided to completely bypass this expensive and unnecessary process by simply granting these degrees under our own authority. There is no body in the country qualified to examine our procedures and judge the validity of our degrees. We have control procedures, and will grant degrees based upon our own standards. The martial arts community is truly unique among educational entities and professions, in that accreditation by the academic world is neither available nor necessary.
        The Article of Empowerment of the North American Institute of Martial Arts and Sciences has been approved by the NAIMAS Board of Governors.
        Degrees conferred by the North American Institute of Martial Arts and Sciences are earned degrees. Our Institute does not award honorary degrees except on very unusual cases. Every degree must be earned under the criteria established by our Board of Regents. Degree requirements will vary considerably. Many of the requirements will be accomplished by the works already created during the careers of the martial artists concerned. These include schools and teaching systems established, championships won, champions trained, videos and books produced or written, and original contributions to the martial arts in the creation of competition rules, organizations, and new martial arts systems. Degrees earned in the martial arts are designed to help advance the professional martial artist in his/her field and should not be construed as degrees intended for advancement in employment in the private sector nor applicable toward earning degree credits from  academic institutions.

        Dr. Milan Pesic, M.D., Ph.D., Sc.D. has been appointed by unanimous approval of the NAIMAS Board of Governors as the Chairman of the University of Martial Arts and Sciences Steering Committee. He will recommend leaders for eventual appointment to the Board of Regents.

         The NAIMAS will be presented as a distance learning (extended degree, off-campus, extended studies) program. It will utilize the mentor / candidate approach for curriculum and research studies. The curriculum will be set forth by a research and degree studies committee. This committee, as well as other committees  will incorporate a wealth of academic and martial knowledge from members of various academic and martial backgrounds. mentors (doctoral degree holders) will be assigned a candidate from our Academic Dean's office. The mentor / candidate will then work out an appropriate curriculum, then send it to the Academic Dean for suggestions or approval.

        We as martial arts professionals are probably the very last to stand up and force the world to recognize us as legitimate professionals. We are listing below the proposal for a full service degree program for the martial arts. It will include standardized criteria granting of professional martial arts degrees. What we want to do is set the standard by which future institutions will recognize all licensed instructors with the appropriate formal degree recognition.  These are professional degrees for the advancement of professionals in our field.

        Each martial arts instructor and his or her rank has been certified and accredited by the licensed instructor, by whom it was issued.
        Only the founder of a martial arts system or style is able to accredit, certify, or license students to teach and issue rank in that system or style.
        Only a sokeship council is able to assess and accredit any new martial art, system or style developed.
        Therefore, it is accepted by this board that every legitimate rank has already been accredited and is therefore worthy of appropriate professional recognition.
        The martial arts degree program will be a distance learning program granting degrees based on the ranks attained and granted by licensed instructors and major martial arts organizations, having board member representation in the specific martial art system and style needed for the issuance of said rank.
        Each degree will be earned and must be documented by your instructor and/or his or her association.  Each degree will have mandatory minimum requirements for rank and/or hours of training, as well as, standards for the documentation required for the granting of degrees.
 

Guidelines for specific degrees:

Associate Degree:                                              Bachelors Degree:
