C.M.A.A. Black Belt Ratification & Awards
Black Belts who have not been graded by The C.M.A.A. Panel can have their grades ratified for the following fee. Grades of 4th Dan and over may also be applied for and awarded. This applies to both C.M.A.A. Members and Non-Members.
Time to be served between C.M.A.A. Dan gradings
The time between each Dan grade will be as follows: 1st to 2nd Dan - 2 Years of active service/training. 2nd Dan to 3rd Dan - 3 years of active service/training. 3rd Dan to 4th Dan - 4 years of active service/training awarded based on "time served". 5th Dan will be awarded after 5 years of active service/training. 5 years service also applies to grades of 6th, 7th, 8th etc...
Past Time Served Accreditation
In the interest of fairness senior Dan Grade applicants (4th Dan and over) may have past time served accredited towards their next grade.
What this means is that if a person served, for example, 6 years from 1st to 2nd Dan through no fault of their own and then progressed through 3rd and then to 4th Dan. The extra 4 years between 1st and 2nd may be accredited towards their 5th Dan in that the required time served between 4th and 5th would be reduced slightly based on past time served.
Please note at least 3 years must have been served at the current grade and we would need documented evidence of all Dan grade dates to verify applications of this nature.
Fully Licenced Members: £30.00 Non-Members: £80.00 (date & evidence of last grade required) The fee includes: |
