Our Philosophy
Guided by open-mindedness and mental resilience, TMAD draws inspiration from the teaching legacies of Senior Grandmaster Willie Lim and Grandmaster Tod Wurr.
We teach traditional techniques – rooted in ancient forms such as katas, tuls, and patterns – as adaptable frameworks for self-defence and personal growth.
TMAD empowers students to interpret and apply these techniques in ways that align with their unique backgrounds, bridging tradition with practical, realistic self-defence applications.
Welcoming All Styles
TMAD welcomes martial artists from all traditional styles, fostering an environment of shared knowledge, open-mindedness, and respect. Our multi-tiered membership options – Affiliate Member, Premium Member, and Partner Member – are designed to support practitioners at every stage, whether they’re pursuing certification, qualifications, or participation in events.
Members can follow tailored pathways, focusing on student certification, instructor qualification courses, or special events, while actively engaging with a diverse and supportive community of martial artists.
For detailed information about our membership options and how to get involved, please contact us. We look forward to welcoming you to the TMAD community!
TMAD as a Community
TMAD is more than just an organisation; it is a community committed to collective growth, respect, and innovation in martial arts development.
We welcome students, instructors, and leaders from all traditional martial arts who seek to deepen their understanding and contribute to a dynamic environment that bridges tradition with modern application.
Together, we honour the legacies of our mentors, celebrating the strength found in diversity and mutual respect.
