Through our advisory board and search team we have developed a candidate pool of individuals who we deemed worthy of induction into the American Martial Arts Alliance Hall of Fame. The martial arts hero’s search committee, sent nomination ballots to practicing martial artist whom they feel deserve honor and recognition for outstanding dedication and contribution to the martial arts.
