Since 1986, the Gospel Martial Arts Union has grown to include membership in 48 states and 19 foreign countries and is the largest conservative Christian martial arts organization in the world. We have seen thousands of people come to Christ and rejoiced as more and more churches are establishing Christ-centered martial arts ministries. In addition to our main facility, we have over 30 Gospel Martial Arts Union Academies operating out of churches and Christian schools in the central Indiana area.
The Gospel Martial Arts Union International Headquarters, one of the largest fulltime martial arts training centers in the world, is located at the Christian Martial Arts Ministry Center in Indianapolis, Indiana. We have been blessed with approximately 20,000 square feet of training and educational space that includes 3 full-sized training halls/dojos, a library, a commercial kitchen, an academic/lecture classroom, a black belt lounge, administrative offices, a regulation boxing ring, and a 9,000 square foot main training/banquet hall.

The Gospel Martial Arts Union (GMAU) exists as an organization to encourage and aid Christian martial arts. To that extent, the GMAU
- has developed a distinct Christian philosophy of martial arts that is Bible Centric in its origin and purpose
- publishes, propagates, and sets a national (international) standard for true Christian martial arts philosophy;
- is a national (international) clearinghouse of the philosophy and standard each genuine bible-centered Christian should practice and propagate in their personal experience and in their schools;
The Gospel martial Arts Union is a Christian martial arts organization, not an organization simply for Christians who teach the martial arts.
