Choose your membership
One federation. Two ways to belong.
Individual membership is for practitioners who want active IMAF membership and access to member resources. School membership is for eligible IMAF Black Belts who own schools and are authorized to promote their students.
Membership renews automatically every twelve months from the date of payment. Your IMAF account lets you sign in. Paid membership, rank, and school eligibility determine access to advanced training material.
Member perk: Active IMAF members receive 20% off registration for one IMAF camp per year.
Individual Membership
$75 / year
Automatic renewal every 12 months from payment.
For individual practitioners
Active IMAF membership and members-only content access.
Eligibility to test for IMAF rank when all applicable training and instructor requirements are met.
Access to IMAF training material and protected member resources.
Black Belt directory listing when the member holds an eligible IMAF Black Belt rank and chooses to be listed.
Connection to the wider IMAF member community.
20% off registration for one IMAF camp per year for active members.
If membership expires, your account stays in place, but members-only access is removed until membership becomes active again.
Live checkout is active. Payments are processed securely by Stripe and annual memberships renew automatically every 12 months.
School Membership
$150 / year
Automatic renewal every 12 months from payment.
For eligible school owners
Official IMAF school membership.
Includes active individual member access for the school owner.
Eligibility to test for IMAF rank when applicable requirements are met.
Access to IMAF training material and protected member resources.
Black Belt directory listing for the eligible school owner, subject to profile visibility choice.
One official IMAF school directory listing for the school.
Authority to promote the school’s students in kyu ranking under IMAF rules.
20% off registration for one IMAF camp per year for the school owner while the School Membership is active.
Eligibility: the owner must be an IMAF Black Belt or above, own the school, and be authorized to promote students. Apply to register your school first. IMAF reviews your application; after approval, complete School Membership payment to activate your school. Each active School Membership includes one official IMAF school listing tied to that school owner.
Students are separate memberships. School payment covers the owner, not students. School owners can manage their listing, review student join requests, and manage eligible students’ ranks from the Member Dashboard.
How joining works
A simple path into IMAF.
01
Choose membership
Select Individual or School membership based on how you participate in IMAF.
02
Create your account
Create or confirm your IMAF account. This login remains yours even if paid membership later expires.
03
Complete annual payment
Complete your annual membership payment securely through Stripe. Your membership renews automatically every twelve months from payment.
04
Complete your profile
Update member details and, where eligible, the information used for Black Belt or school directory listings.
Access and status
Membership status controls access.
Active
Members-only access enabled
Individual members and school owners follow the same training-access rules: an active paid membership plus an active school affiliation, ownership of an active school, or approved independent black-belt status. Eligible members can view their level and one level above it; members with No Rank can view Levels 2 and 3.
Expired
Account remains, access pauses
An expired membership does not delete your account or rank history. You can still sign in to view basic terminology and Level 2. Advanced training access pauses until your membership and school eligibility are active again.
Login status
Signed in does not mean paid
Every signed-in account can view basic terminology and Level 2, including accounts without a paid membership. Visitors must sign in before viewing syllabus documents or training videos.
IMAF membership supports a living community built around Professor Remy Presas’ Modern Arnis, responsible training, and the continued growth of the art.
Live payments: IMAF Individual ($75/year) and School ($150/year) memberships are processed securely through Stripe and renew automatically every 12 months.
