The National Council on Martial Arts Hall of Fame was established to recognize unique and significant contributors to the martial arts industry. First, all inductees must be nominated by NCMA members in good standing. Then, after careful consideration, induction into the NCMA Hall of Fame comes after committee members vote to determine those individuals who reflect and represent such distinguished conduct. The martial arts community, along with the NCMA, its Board of Representatives, members and associates are proud of the accomplishments of its Hall of Fame inductees.
