Professional Martial Arts and Fitness Certification Courses
We bridge the gap between passion and profession through certified training programs in fitness, MMA, and India’s traditional sports.
Our comprehensive Certified Fitness Trainer (CFT) program is structured across six progressive levels. We guide you from the fundamentals of anatomy and exercise science to advanced specializations like sports performance, corrective exercise, and nutrition, equipping you for a successful career as a fitness professional.
We offer a specialized Diploma in Traditional Martial Arts (DTMA) for those passionate about India's rich combat heritage. This 12-month program provides in-depth training in ancient forms like Kalaripayattu, Silambam, and Mallyuddha, preparing you to become a certified instructor.
Our 12-month Diploma in Mixed Martial Arts (DMMA) is designed for aspiring professional instructors. The curriculum covers a comprehensive range of striking and grappling techniques, conditioning, and coaching methodologies required to teach MMA effectively and safely.
As part of our commitment to community safety, we run the National Self Defense Mission (NSDM). This initiative certifies instructors to conduct self-defense workshops and courses across the country, empowering individuals with practical skills for personal protection.
We provide pathways beyond just coaching, including opportunities to become a certified Technical Official for national sporting events. This poster announces our call for officials for the 'Sport for All Games & Festival 2024,' a major event held at Talkatora Stadium, New Delhi.
Our certifications are backed by global recognition. This Certificate of Appointment confirms our founder, Master B.K. Bharat, as the President of the International Association of Combative Sports (IACS) for 2023-2027, a testament to our leadership and standing in the international sports community.
We are at the forefront of reviving traditional Indian sports. This poster announces a Gilli Danda Technical Seminar conducted by our Technical Director, Master B.K. Bharat, to train and certify a new generation of officials and coaches in this classic Indian game.
About this collection
Our certifications are built on years of research and field practice, designed to make you job-ready. Whether you are training at our Hapur campus or joining our hybrid programs, you get access to the same curriculum used by our national teams. You will learn to coach everything from modern Mixed Martial Arts to ancient Mallyuddha, with a focus on real-world delivery rather than just classroom theory.
We have structured our academy to serve students at every stage, from the foundational level to advanced master diplomas.
Certification Pathways
Our curriculum is divided into three core pillars:
- Fitness Training: A six-level program that covers anatomy, functional strength, nutrition, and gym management. This is designed for those looking to open their own studio or work as professional trainers.
- Combat Sports: We offer 12-month diplomas in Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) and traditional Indian combat styles. This includes technical training in stance, grappling, and coaching methodology.
- Self-Defense & Tradition: Through the Rashtriya Aatmaraksha Mission, we certify instructors to lead safety workshops. We also provide technical referee training for revived traditional sports like Gilli Danda, preparing officials for national festivals.
The Hybrid Advantage
We understand that not everyone can relocate for training. Our hybrid model allows you to complete theory modules online, followed by intensive offline practical sessions at our Greater Noida and Hapur facilities. This ensures you master physical conditioning, including our signature outdoor training methods like tire flipping and agility drills, while keeping your education flexible.
Professional Standing
Our diplomas carry affiliation from the National Martial Arts Committee India and align with global bodies like the IACS. This ensures your certification is recognized when applying for school physical education roles, private coaching positions, or when establishing your own training franchise. We do not offer short-cuts; expect rigorous assessments and practical exams.
National Martial Arts Academy
We started as a family in a village with a simple dream: sport for all, not just for the city folks. Now, we use the National Martial Arts Academy to bridge that divide, training everyone from local village youth to aspiring national coaches. If you are serious about building a career in sports, you will find a path here.
