MAIA President, Walt Missingham, has released a range of ‘Post Covid’ initiatives to assist the recovery of the Martial Arts Industry as we move into a ‘Post Covid’
environment.
Walt commented: “It is quite amazing how quickly the ‘political capital’ of lockdowns, QR Codes, vaccine passports and masks has evaporated. Across the country we are seeing an opening up and a movement back to normality but this is not enough. We need to enable our industry with initiatives that will assist getting people back to training”
Our first step is getting our young people back to training.
The MAIA has registered the ‘Kids R Safe’ logo and brand (attached below), members are free to use it in their advertising and promotions.
