Firstly many thanks for an enjoyable National Grappling event yesterday. Suffice to say we all had fun and look forward to the next competition.

I am running an event myself in St Neots, Cambs, and I wanted to invite every IMASA club. It is not a competition per se but rather a gathering of like minded martial artists. The event is to be held for charity and I am asking a £10 donation from each person accordingly.

It will be held on Sunday 20th November at St Neots Town Football Club.

It will last from 11am to 5pm

The event is called the 2016 UK Bullshido Throwdown.

Like minded martial artists can gather and spar with anyone they choose under mutually agreed rules for a duration of their choosing.

Hi all,

We have been advised some Members have received emails purporting to be from IMASA.

It certainly is not from IMASA, but looking at the address it would seem it has been sent from our Members Area - Looking through the Members list I have found the person in question and deleted their profile, Monica resides in Canada and is an advertisement link scam.

I have checked the link below and it took me to what seemed to be our Login Page, Please ignore and delete - I have removed them from the Members Area.
