Get involved in the wmara

Many Karate school owners are affiliated with a ranking organization or have involvement with their instructor for certification of their students rank. Unfortunately, many instructors find themselves on an island when it comes to certification for their own rank if their instructor has quit the martial arts or he is disassociated for another reason. Or maybe an instructor would like to be a part of a larger organization that has increased credibility and that may encourage participation from others to join their membership!

The World Martial Arts Ranking Association was developed by pioneer and 1st National Black Belt Champion J Pat Burleson. 

His vision…..

The new affiliate WMARA program will add revenue to your business, by offering a return of $5 from the initial $35 yearly membership fee and it will be returned to you for each of your students who join the organization. 

Not only will your students enjoy the prestige of being a part of this great organization, but they also will receive, membership sticker and patch, as well as blogs and e-mails concerning upcoming events and testing of higher rank Black Belts. 

Request an application for an affiliate membership for your martial arts studio to:

The endorsers of the WMARA program are indeed the most
respected icons in the Martial Arts industry. Each one has given Master J. Pat Burleson permission to use their names and endorsement to the advancement of all Black Belt Rank as if they personally attended each testing event. Several of these icons are deceased and it will be impossible for anyone to obtain the approval of them from any other organization.
