Modern Technology For A Modern Association
Our professional, checkable & modern martial arts instructor licenses & certification are helping honest instructors get ahead of the McDojos and cowboys by offering a truly verified professional document to represent their teaching.
We’re independent, politics free & multi-styled and can license multiple styles under a single document.
Times are changing and uncheckable, unprofessional or non-indexed certificates are open to scrutiny. If an insurer, governing body, council, venue, parent or student can’t easily and conveniently check a document’s validity you could lose out.
British Martial Arts & Boxing Association issued martial arts licensing is always checkable and referenced, meaning you can scan the QR code on the document or visit our online verification centre and search by instructor name, certificate number or instructor number.

Instant Verification For Honest Instructors
If you’re an honest, hard working instructor you’ll know how frustrating it can be when McDojos can trump you with a superior marketing budget. Likewise, we know how frustrating it is having no more weight to your certification than the ‘glass screen warriors’ that call themselves yodans.
Our online verification system instantly authenticates any and all documentation in live time, so you can sure your certification will back you up when you need it to most.
Our verification service is included free of charge with all memberships.
