 N.A.R.M.A. was established as a foundation for the Restoration of the Cultural fighting system of the Peruvian Inca.  Our main focus is to provide a networking club for the development and promotion of American Rumi Maki Kickboxing, along with the Inca Shamanic practices for the 9-Rites of the Munay-Ki and the Way of the luminous warrior.

Because our association is still in the pioneering stages of it's development, we have tried to address a few of it's basic concepts within the Question & Answer format listed below.

Today, N.A.R.M.A.  is actively seeking to establish a second organization in the country of Peru called S.A.R.M.A. - For -  South American Rumi Maki Association.  This new association will serve as a foundation

The name of the sport is called ( Rumi Runa Combatives ) It was designed as a motif, in order to capture the imagination of the mythological legends, surrounding the high altitude physical conditioning of the Inca Warriors.

The words Rum Maki are actually derived from the ancient Inca Language, which means " Stone Hand " The words Rumi Runa, is also derived from the Quecha Language.

American Rumi Maki Kickboxing, was designed by Grand Master: Eddie Vuittonet and Sinchi: Mike Akens based upon the five concepts within the history of the fighting system of the Peruvian Inca.              

A form of Rumi Maki is still practiced today in a small village in Peru, called Kawsay Raymi.

Is there anyone living in the United States who has knowledge about the Ancient Inca Fighting System?

The answer to that question is Yes!. There are many people living in the city of Patterson N.J. who are from other training lineages.  It is these people that Sinchi: Mike Akens is using to help him to restore the Inca Fighting System.

As a note:

The North American Rumi maki Association was created in order to pursue the knowledge of the Inca warrior. Sinchi Mike Akens has been diligently researching it's history, and reunited many of the scattered training lineages in order to help him re- codify the ( Ancient ) Form of Rumi Maki in order to share it with the world.!

Shaman Martinez told him stories about a group of people known as the Liaka, who were said to be the descendants of the people we now call the Pacific Islanders. Some of which migrated to the Andes thousand years ago.

These people migrated into the Andean Mountains, and became Known as the Laika. The Laika were the Shamanic Warriors who Trained the Armies of the Inca. In 2010, the discovery of a metatarsal of Callao Man

was identified. Some scientist believe these people were possibly the Builders of ( Machu Picchu ) The discovery was reliably carbon dated by uranium-series dating back  to 67,000 years ago.

The City of Paterson New Jersey, also known as Little Lima.

Has the largest Population of American Peruvian Citizens in the United States.

HOW DID IT BECOME A COMPETITION SPARING SPORT?

The original purpose for our sparing events were meant to improve the practitioners workout and thus create better stamina and endurance. As students from other schools begin to spar against one another during special events held by our sports club.

Numerous rules and regulations were set up in order to control the level of force applied by each opponent.

These rules for the game have now been adapted as the official regulations for our sport. As the concept of American Rumi Maki Kickboxing began to grow, both the exercise aspects and the sparing aspects were copy righted into a Health and Fitness Journal.

This journal is now governed by the members and managers on the board of certification and training for the N.A.R.M.A. organization.               

As in all sports, American Rumi Maki Kickboxing has a strict set of rules that governs competition and ensures safety.

For those who want to test their skills, American Rumi Maki Kickboxing offers the opportunity for competition at all skill levels, from Sparing clubs  to national tournaments.

There are ( 4 ) separate weight divisions for men and women, and boys and girls.

American Rumi Maki Kickboxing  is many things to different people. It is a fun sport, an art form, a discipline, a recreational or social activity, a fitness program, a means of self-defense  and a way of life.

The Shamanic principles used in American Rumi Maki Kickboxing along with the application of the Way of the Luminous Warrior, can also be used in our dealings with others in life. The ultimate goal in the Way of the Luminous Warrior is to develop oneself to the maximum extent possible, always striving for perfection, so that you can contribute something of value to the world.

The Shamanic Breathing Technique use in the Rumi Maki Kickboxing is called  " Soroche BreathingTM"

A concept designed by Sinchi: Akens, a student of Dr. Alberto Villoldo of the Four winds Society, for Inca Shamanic studies. 

Soroche Breathing is a shamanic practice for high altitude endurance which allows you to shift your breathing rate by alternating from mouth to nose and then varying the lengths of you exhale in order to change your breathing patterns, helping you to flood the body with oxygen. The ancient Laika shaman practiced these techniques in order to prevent altitude sickness.

Applying this technique during a competition sparing match will help train you to stimulate the body's parasympathetic response.

The human body has an inborn, "pre-wired" response for dealing with dangerous situations - it is called the "fight or flight" response. Both fighting and fleeing require the same activities on the part of the body's organs.  The purpose of this response is to prepare the individual for vigorous muscular activity in response to a perceived threat. 

By itself, this response is normal, healthy, and adaptive.  But when the "fight or flight" response occurs while engaged in a physical altercation, we easily begin to experience the negative effects of battle fatigue and stress. Instead of breathing slowly from our lower lungs, we begin to breathe rapidly and shallowly from our upper lungs which can produce a phenomenon called hyperventilation.

Hyperventilation is something that every competition fighter must avoid in order to prevent the symptoms of shortness of breath, dizziness and a host of other respiratory problems.The good news is that with a little practice and training, you can easily reverse the symptoms of hyperventilation, which has an effect similar to altitude sickness. The human nervous system has a component that works automatically which is called the autonomic nervous system. 

The autonomic nervous system has two divisions:  The 'sympathetic' and 'parasympathetic' divisions. 

 
When the sympathetic division is active, we experience the fight / flight response, and when the parasympathetic division is active, we experience the exact opposite. One produces chemicals into the body which causes tension & stress, and the other which produces a calming effect of rest & relaxation.  These two systems work to help us maintain our physical balance.

Through a shift in your consciousness, and by practicing these Shamanic breathing techniques, you can change your bodies reaction to the ( autonomic nervous system ) responses. When Competition Sparing with Soroche Breathing Techniques:

• oxygen consumption decreases
• breathing slows
• heart rate slows
• blood pressure decreases
• muscle tension decreases
• plus you feel a growing sense of ease in body, and calmness in the mind.
  

What is the Munay-Ki and the 9-Rites?

They foretell of a new human appearing on the planet – a person of wisdom and power who lives free of fear and resides in their eternal nature; accepting stewardship for all creation.

The rites of the Munay-Ki are the energetic “codes” for this new human known as “Sentient-Luminous Beings”    The " Ayni "  of the Ultimate Truth.

The Munay-Kiare the nine great rites of initiation of the medicine way, which come from the ancient men and women known as the Laika.

These initiations are one of three pillars of the medicine teachings and are best received in conjunction with the "core insights", the personal healing work of the Medicine Wheel and the intervention tools of shamanic energy medicine, as taught in the Healing the Light Body program. Together with the teachings and interventions, the rites, which are received as “seeds” have the solid vessel necessary for them to grow within and the fertile soil that nurtures them to blossom fully.

The Rites of the Munay-Ki are experienced in the form of energetic transmissions that shift the luminous energy field. They are a nine step process to heal the wounds of the past – our karmic & genetic inheritance. They help us to step into the fullness of our nature by transforming our human energy field and re-informing our DNA, enabling us to grow a new body – one that ages, heals, and dies differently.

Now is the time to step into your own inner healing journey, an opportunity to source from the extraordinary world of creation. The choice is yours and we each are making the choice, now. The Munay-Ki is your invitation to step into an alchemical transformation, a journey of healing. Stepping into the world of creators, who choose to dream an entire new world into being.

The Munay-Ki training program includes personal healing work, intertwined with teaching, hands-on practice, meditation, journeying, ceremony and ritual, as well as mentoring in and transmission of, the nine great rites of passage.

You will learn the exact form of the nine rites of passage and how to gift them to others, taking home the skills to facilitate friends and clients to step into who they are becoming. The Rites of the Munay-Ki help us to walk through the world, as instruments of peace and agents for change and transformation.
