Hapkido is a versatile discipline of self-protection that includes joint locks, low kicks, strikes, take downs, pressure point manipulation, and disarming techniques to teach practitioners to either counter or preemptively strike an imminent attack to defend oneself.

Para Karate is a martial art adapted for individuals with disabilities, offering opportunities for personal development, physical fitness, and competition. At the International Canadian Martial Arts Federation, we are proud to champion Para Karate as a way to break barriers and build confidence.

ICMAF is actively exploring partnerships within the triathlon community to expand our reach into multi-discipline endurance sports. By collaborating with established triathlon organizations, we aim to co-host events and competitions that bring martial artists and endurance athletes together, fostering cross-training opportunities and broader athletic development.

ICMAF is also in discussions with key figures in the speedball community to develop joint programs and competitions. This potential partnership will allow us to introduce speedball into our event calendar, offering new skill-building opportunities for our members and creating shared platforms with other federations dedicated to this fast-paced, dynamic sport.
