Many school owners assume that their staff understand what professional conduct is.
The Martial Arts Instructor Certification Course makes it very clear what boundaries need to be adhered to.
MATA Certification helps you avoid these issues.
Our Martial Arts Instructor Certification Program walks you through the potential liabilites in running a martial arts school.
Charismatic, confident leadership is a crucial skill to learn as an instructor.
MATA Certified instructors learn effective communication skills so they are clear and commanding.
The Blind Leading The Blind.
Most instructors simply mimic their own instructor’s communication and physical patterns.
Learn how to teach using established academic best practices.
It’s more than just what happens on the floor.
Let’s face it. We live in a litigious society where students will sue your school in a heartbeat.
It doesn’t matter if it was right or wrong, the legal bills will be high.
MATA Certification helps you avoid these issues.
