MIMAF SPECIALIST INNOVATIONS LABORATORY

---

MIMAF Specialist Innovations Laboratory (Lab.) is conducted via a host dojo for MIMAF Passport holders. It is a place for the exploration and development of new ideas and skills via the Four (4) Stages of Learning and Continuous Practice Skills Development Program.

• MIMAF Specialist Innovation Labs use creative processes like brainstorming and design thinking to develop new ideas. The ‘Specialist’ term focuses on a theme. It could be a Judo Lab, a Weapons Lab, a Martial Arts Sports Lab, or even an Elite-level Exercise Training Lab. In addition, it accommodates the Batsugun Program. It is also the R&D division of the Masters International Martial Arts Institute.  

• MIMAF Specialist Innovation Labs seek to accelerate development in all areas of the Martial Arts via Research & Development (R&D). 

• MIMAF Specialist Innovation Labs also seek to foster collaboration via Collaborative Teams & Signature Relationship Practices, via the development of an appropriate Support Culture (sustained collaboration) along with the development of a sense of community (both task- and relationship-oriented). 

• MIMAF Specialist Innovation Labs can partner with other organizations to create solutions that seek to address real-world issues. This focuses on self-efficacy development as it applies to mastery experiences, vicarious (social) modelling experiences, instruction (verbal persuasion), and considered  physiological factors.
