Black Belt For You
GET YOUR BLACK BELT
Now you can get your skills recognised to obtain your Black Belt in martial arts based on your previous knowledge and abilities.
Over the years, the International Martial Arts Alliance / Martial Arts Australia has been approached by many people around the globe to help them (a) achieve their black belt, or (b) validate their existing black belt grade. Previously, we only assisted martial artists with existing Dan grades, where candidates would send a video or perform in front of our grading panel. We’ve also had a lot of enquiries from people training on and off for 5–10 years or more who never obtained their black belt. After several years of development, we created a credible, fair and appropriate pathway for them to obtain a black belt equivalent — with two options.
Option 1 — Demonstrate & Reflect
Present a number of techniques from a list we provide and send a video of you performing them. Then complete a Q&A and write an essay on what it means to be a black belt, including your journey to date.
Option 2 — Learn, Then Demonstrate
If you can’t yet perform the specified techniques, learn from the resource material we’ve created, then present the same assessment tasks as Option 1.
The outcome is a generic black belt, not tied to any one style — you’ll have demonstrated competency across all techniques, assessed against our knowledge of what the black belt standard should be.
Validate Your Existing Skills
Whether you’ve already been graded but would love something more credible, or you’ve trained for years without ever having the opportunity to grade — we have a solution. Our unique program gives martial artists from any style, any country, the opportunity to validate their existing skills through RPL (Recognising Prior Learning), matching their skills to a global standard to earn their black belt. If you need more skill training first, our masters can train you online via our Black Belt Transition Course — ideal for martial artists training over 5 years across different styles, who’ve picked up a few grades along the way but, for various reasons, haven’t had the opportunity to test for black belt. Irrespective of style, this course helps you assemble the perfect curriculum to showcase your art and be recognised as a legitimate black belt.
Course Includes
Video and other resources to educate and validate your current skills, getting you ready to grade.
Graduates Receive
Your own Black Belt embroidered with your name, plus a certificate and martial arts assets — access to articles, magazines and videos.
Pricing
Prices vary depending on your region and whether you’re taking the RPL pathway or the full course — price on application.

There has been a lot of enquiries from people that have been training on / off, for 5 -10 years or more, but have never obtained their black belt. Our first response has always been to help them find a local instructor, in a style they feel comfortable undertaking. For some this has been challenging across a wide range of issues, so we decided to find a solution.
After several years of development, we have created a creditable, fair and appropriate pathway for these people to obtain a black belt equivalent.
We present two options -

Alternatively, if they can’t perform the appropriate number of techniques we have specified, they can learn from the resource material we have created. They would then present the assessment tasks as stated above.
The outcome is a generic black belt, not in any style, but the candidate will have demonstrated competency across all techniques. Our assessment of their performance will be matched to our knowledge, of what we believe the black belt standard should be.
