For travelling martial artists

Arrive expected.

Is this for me?

If you train regularly at home and travel for work or family, MyTrainingAtlas connects you with schools that match your art and lineage in cities you are visiting. You do not need existing contacts, language skills, or a reputation that precedes you.

Why introductions exist

Turning up unannounced is bad etiquette in most martial arts traditions. An introduction gives the school owner the information they need to decide whether to welcome you — your art, your lineage, your rank, your home school. It gives you the information you need to visit respectfully. Both sides know what to expect before anyone sets foot on the mat.

Is this real?

For Schools on MyTrainingAtlas list their art, lineage, visitor requirements, and class schedule. 

You can see who is teaching, what they teach, and when classes run before you visit.

How introductions work

The introduction system is 4 simple steps:


Step 1 — Find a school in the city you are headed to
Review their lineage, class timetable, and visitor policy before deciding to approach. 


Step 2 — Request an introduction 
Propose a date to visit and add extra notes to personalise the introduction.                  


Step 3 — You are introduced to the school
The school reviews your profile  and approves or denies..                  


Step 4 — Approved - arrive prepared
They are expecting you.

What the school sees

When you request an introduction the school receives your name, your art and lineage, your rank, your home school, and a short note you write yourself. 

They do not see your contact details. All communication happens through the platform.

The school owner reads your profile and decides whether to approve or decline. 

You are not guaranteed a visit. 

The school decides.


What I control

You choose the school and set your travel date, include a personal introduction note,

The platform handles the rest — sending your request, notifying the school, confirming the visit, and updating both sides if anything changes. 

You can cancel or change the date at any time.

What if something goes wrong

If the school declines or does not respond, there is no penalty. 

Visitor requirements and class schedules are visible on the school profile before you visit, so you know what to expect on the day.

What does it cost?

Your first introduction using the platform is free.  No card required.

 

Some schools charge a mat fee payable on the day — that is between you and the school. MTA does not handle it. 

What this is not

MyTrainingAtlas is not: 

- a membership. 

- a drop-in class finder. 

- a booking platform. 

-  a guaranteed visit service.  


The school decides whether to accept you. That is how it should work.
