    Black Belt Ranking - World Martial Arts Ranking Association - WMARA

The Martial Arts Leaders that have endorsed the World Martial Arts Ranking Association and have agreed to endorse you as being a legitimate part of the martial arts, are the most revered and honoured men in the industry. It is through their efforts that your lineage in the martial arts has been possible. Many of these pioneers of American Martial Arts are no longer living, which makes their endorsement even more valuable and impossible to obtain.
