Certifications
and Rank Awarding Program
Dear Fellow Martial artists:
As you are aware, with
its increase in popularity over the last decades, the martial arts business has
become extremely competitive. Often there are many talented instructors in a
single city where the novice, seeking out a school for the first time, is often
confused and uncertain about the quality of instruction he or she will receive
at a martial arts school.
Unfortunately, organizations such as the World Taekwondo Federation and
others like them have standards of excellence that must be met in order for their
instructors to receive certification. Therefore, if a prospective student
becomes aware of the governing bodies for Taekwondo, Karate, Hapkido, Kungfu, Judo, or any other martial art, he or she will seek out certified instructors and have a reasonable expectation of their quality.
A great many people
begin a study of the martial arts for the purpose of self-defense. Prospective
students may legitimately wonder which martial art would be the best for them
for this purpose. They may notice a certification on the wall of the martial
arts office, but how are they assured that means the instructor is qualified to
teach SELF-DEFENSE?
We all know that almost any of the martial arts can be effective for
purposes of self-defense, This NOT NECESSARILY a result of martial arts training.
In order to truly understand self-defense the martial arts practitioner must
spend some time in its study.
The problem with the SELF-DEFENSE instruction business, unlike that of
the MARTIAL ARTS instruction business, is that there has not been a recognized
certification body for self-defense instruction. That is until now.
United States Martial Arts Institute (USMAI), founded by one
of the pioneers of martial arts in the United States, Dr. Daeshik Kim,
announced reorganization of the International Society of HOSINSUL (the
name has been changed to the World Hosin-Hapkido Federation), the first
official certification body for SELF-DEFENSE.
The Federation will issue certifications for qualification of Instructor and Master. Certificates may be issued to black belt practitioners with a combination
of martial arts degrees.
For example, a person with Second (2nd)
degree black belts in both Taekwondo and
Hapkido would be as eligible for a Master Certification as would a person with a Fourth (4th)
degree black belt in a single martial art.
To qualify for the Instructor Certification you
must be at a level of First (1st) through Third (3rd)
degree black belts in any accredited martial arts. A total of fourth (4th) degree
black belts and above is eligible for Master Certification.
Certification is an
important element in any profession. It gives your students the assurance of
quality they deserve. Join the World Hosin-Hapkido Federation to
bring the same integrity to your Self-Defense Instruction as your martial arts
organization brings to your Martial Arts Instruction.
The Federation welcomes other martial arts to apply for Instructor and Master certification in Hosin-Hapkido (Art of Self-Defense).
