GRADINGS
All professional martial arts clubs, schools, academies and associations should register gradings and certificates directly with the governing body to give the students accreditation for the grading they have taken from white belt - 3rd Dan otherwise the grading is pointless and in most cases voids any validity for future reference or the ability to become a recognized martial arts instructor for insurance purposes and can often end up costing a student a martial arts career.
