The Details

INDIVIDUAL BLACK BELT MEMBERSHIP

First submit the APPLICATION and RESUME forms below.
If you are not personally known to an Affiliate or Board Member you may be asked to provide further proof of skill and teaching ability by an in-person visit or video. This is not an exam. We merely wish to determine your experience level. A vote of the membership committee takes 2 to 4 weeks.

AFFILIATE INSTRUCTOR MEMBERSHIP

Black Belt members should contact the Executive Director for information on becoming an Affiliate.

The $200 annual fee includes ten memberships (Student or Black Belt).
Black Belt should fill out the appropriate application forms but we only need names and ranks for under-belts.
You can collect fees for each member, in essence, covering your annual fee or you can provide memberships as part of your school’s tuition.
Upon acceptance we send patches and membership cards directly to you. We require that anyone wearing an association patch actually be a registered/paid-up member (so don’t order extra patches and hand them out, please).

We look forward to helping you reach new heights in your martial arts journey!
