Effective immediately, in addition to the already stringent requirements of membership that include a background check and in-person meeting to determine if we are a good fit for each other as we are primarily a training and networking organization, the US Association of Martial Arts will now require all prospective members to be SafeSport Certified and present their certificate of completion with their membership application. This applies for all new memberships, and we will work to ensure all current members receive this training as well. 

The US Center for SafeSport is the national standard for sexual abuse awareness training and how to recognize the red flags of emotional, physical and sexual misconduct, and then what to do if abuse does occur. Through small steps like this and taking action, we can end sexual abuse in the martial arts together. While those who belong to the sport NGBs for Taekwondo and Judo will already be required to hold SafeSport certification, this training is available to the public for minimal cost ($20 at the time of this writing). For more information regarding the SafeSport program and to enroll in training, please click here.
