SportMartialArts.com began in 2000 when founder Emily Cooper used the emerging internet to share videos and photos of her students at competitions with their parents—back in the days of dial-up! What started as a grassroots effort soon attracted competitors, instructors, and promoters eager to connect through the innovative website, then called MASLinc (Martial Arts Sports League Inc). As its popularity grew, it became a hub for public recognition and connection in the martial arts community. In 2007, the name changed to SportMartialArts.com, and since then, the organization has continuously adapted to changes in the internet, the rise of social media, and the evolution of the sport itself. SportMartialArts.com remains committed to growing martial arts competition, promoting events, and inspiring the next generation of athletes while staying true to its grassroots beginnings.
