The IMAEP is the parent group for all of our International organizations. USNTF, WTC, the Gumdo and Hapkido bodies are all sanctioned and governed by the IMAEP. IMAEP was formed to further the education of martial artists in their art of choice, and other martial arts through cultural exchange programs. IMAEP welcomes membership from other countries. Please contact us for more information.

IMAEP creates events for international fellowship and invites groups from other countries to the United States. Friendships have been formed and cultural boundaries have vanished. The IMAEP also leads groups of U.S. Instructors and Students on trips to other host countries for tournaments and seminars.
