23.01.20 Reminder - Grade Promotions for Non-CMAA Club Members
Last year we announced an increase in people from outside of the CMAA approaching us for black belt
grade promotions, this is still occuring so as a reminder we are publishing the following reminder.
While this does show the good name of the CMAA we have to take care that our good name remains as
such and that we do not appear to be seen as a ‘paper mill’.
With that in mind the following change has taken place, while listing at www.blackbeltregister.co.uk remains
available for everyone regardless of which martial arts club or group they are from (once the grade has
been proven of course) grade promotions and certification are now only available to CMAA Full Members.
14.01.20 New Members
We welcome the following club and their members as they join us:
Ann Brindley 5th Dan and The Brindley Martial Arts Academy (Freestyle Karate/Kickboxing) in Runcorn.
09.01.20 Social Media Age Restrictions & Online Safety
