Shimsan Athletes

Welcome our 2024

Becoming a Shimsan Athlete is a testament to these athletes exceptional skills, passion for the National Martial Arts Alliance, and the valuable contributions they make to NMAA. Our Athletes play a pivotal role in representing NMAA values, fostering positive relationships with our Shimsan family, and generating excitement about upcoming events and new product.

The purpose of the Shimsan Athlete program is to highlight martial artists who positively represent Shimsan. This program helps increase awareness of the National Martial Arts Alliance to friends, family, and followers. These Athletes, who are motivated leaders, have a significant impact on the NMAA vision. They have a ‘can do’ attitude and love to have a lot of fun doing what they love - representing Shimsan!

“As a person who holds martial arts so close to their heart, I believe that I will make a great Shimsan Team Athlete not just because of my positive attitude and passion towards the National Martial Arts Alliance, but also for my ability and willingness to share Shimsan Taekwondo with as many people as possible, and to popularise it further across the world.”

”I am willing to try new things. You can't go through life with a "shoulda-coulda-woulda" attitude. You have to step out of your comfort zone. I give 100%. When I practice forms, I sweat. I believe that I can be a positive role model to others in the NMAA and beyond.”
