Whether you are pursuing a Certificate in Martial Arts (CMA) or becoming a Certified Instructor (CIMA), our coursework provides the official syllabus and grading authority required to run a credible, recognized academy. Our curriculum is structured to support instructors at every stage of their professional journey. ### Certification Pathway We offer a tiered educational framework starting from the Certificate in Martial Arts (CMA) and progressing to the Diploma in Martial Arts (DMA). For senior professionals seeking advanced standing, our 12-month Master Diploma in Martial Arts (MDMA) covers both Traditional Martial Arts (TMA) and Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) methodologies. ### Instructor Credentials To ensure quality instruction across our national network, we provide specialized training programs: - **CIMA Level 1 & 2:** Standardized certifications for martial arts instructors. - **CISD-B (Certified Instructor in Self Defense):** A rigorous 40-hour program designed to equip trainers with the pedagogical tools to teach effective self-defense. ### Why Get Certified With NMAA Unlike unaccredited training, our courses are backed by our national organization, granting you the legal standing to conduct belt grading exams and utilize our standardized syllabus. All participants gain access to our digital support network and are eligible for listing in the NMAA national directory. This accreditation bridges the gap between local training and national recognition, allowing you to align your academy with our 'Sport for All' mission. ## About National Martial Arts Academy We started with a dream to revive traditional Indian sports and make martial arts training accessible to everyone, from our village to the national level. Today, we bring that same rigorous, science-backed approach to our professional certification programs, ensuring every instructor we train carries the weight of a national standard.
