We register martial arts clubs, check that they train people safely, and give independent recognition to black belt and Dan grades in every style.
Get a club licence that shows parents and students you are insured, safeguarding-checked and run by a qualified instructor.
Have your grade reviewed by our panel and listed on the national register, with a certificate you can show anywhere.
Enter a certificate number to confirm a black belt, instructor or club licence is genuine. No login needed.
The same four steps apply to clubs and to individual grade applications.
Create a member login and complete the form. Your details are saved to your account.
Use the payment reference shown after you apply, by bank transfer, card or cheque.
Our grading panel checks your evidence and may contact your instructor or club.
Approved applications receive a numbered certificate and, if you agree, a place on the public register.
Every licensed club has to name a welfare officer, hold suitable insurance, have a first aider at every session, and make sure instructors working with children have a current criminal record check.
