My name is John Brado, Association Director and Chief Instructor, and I Welcome to combatmartialarts.com the Internet home of The Combat Martial Art Practitioners Association.

The Combat Martial Art Practitioners Association is a multi-style martial arts training and nationally and internationally recognized rank registration organization supporting the self defense oriented and mixed martial arts MMA community.

Established as a Centralized Governing Agency the association provides standardized rank accreditation and promotion guidelines that are universally applied to all martial artists regardless of training methods or philosophies allowing martial artists from different styles to receive the same level of professional rank recognition.

We believe in the merit based promotion principle.  If you are a serious martial artist, train for reality in both combat and sport, and believe that perseverance is the key to achieving excellence we can  help you achieve the rank you deserve and be promoted based upon your length of experience and the accumulative time you have spent training not politics. 

If your going to do the training it is only fair that you be recognized for it.  

Every martial artist should be formally recognized for all of the time, hard work, and effort that they invest into their martial arts training and be recognized for their achievements.

Regardless if you are an independent solo practitioner, teach privately to a small number of students or own your own franchise of martial arts schools, securing professional credibility through registration is a very important part of today's martial arts industry.

It provides third party recognition of your experience - nothing adds more credibility to your achievements than professional recognition.

It demonstrates your commitment to your martial arts profession.

It validates your martial arts training by meeting nationally recognized standards.
