How To Rate Your Club

HOW TO GET A CLUB RATING

THE STAR RATING GIVES YOU A COMMERCIAL ADVANTAGE

Star Rated Assessment Easier Than You think!

The industry now has a new Star Rating (Endorsement) to recognise professional schools that operate at the highest standard.
To obtain this higher accreditation level, a school must go through a full assessment process to see if they meet the criteria.
EVERY STAR COUNTS AND HOLDS VALUE - WE ISSUE 3- 6 STAR ENDORSEMENTS

Why Get Rated?

Schools can showcase their endorsement to students and potential clients. We provide you with a marketing kit  so you can use online, in print and on your uniform. We upgrade your School Listing in our Club Directory, post your status in our social media and you can share all the commercial assets.

Industry Endorsed Rating

Martial Arts Australia is the largest peak industry body and the Star Rating endorsement holds a high commercial value. Schools also get the tick of approval from our international partners IMA & IMACC. This is particularly helpful for consumers who want to find a safe school, with qualified instructors and the appropriate programs they want to learn.


MAA is recognised not only Australia wide, but international as a world authority and members held in high esteem. MAA is known for their high standards and rigorous instructor qualification checks. Our team of martial arts / business professionals review each application to see whether instructors / schools meet or exceed the industry standard criteria.
