Previously known as the Irish Association of Bujinkan Ninjutsu Instructors, NTI was founded in the early 2010s and was recognised by the Irish Martial Arts Commission and Sport Ireland as the advisory board for these martial arts soon after.

It is a voluntary and democratic organisation with a full constitution and officers elected at an annual general meeting to serve for a term of one year at a time. You can find out more about IMAC at www.imac.ie
