Black Belt Registration Information

The USAKF issues grades of the highest quality and they are recognized throughout the world. To determine your qualifications, we examine the paperwork you submit and your past history, including time in grade and when you started. The process is complete but not intimidating and is easy to comply with. We also consider the "Sempai factor," that is your age and the years that you have been in the arts divided by 10. It would be helpful if we could have your complete name and address
