** Denotes a serving member of the NAKMAS National Management Committee and * denotes that the grade was awarded by the NAKMAS National Management Committee following audit and assessment.
NAKMAS has become cognisant of the fact that some accredited members are using the NAKMAS A4 grade certificates as provisional black belt certificates.

The NAKMAS A4 certificate is a controlled legal document. It is a severe legal breach that has serious ramifications if used for any purpose other than kyu or kup grades (or equivalent). NAKMAS reminds members of this fact.

Please contact the NAKMAS head office if you are a member of NAKMAS and possess a NAKMAS A4 certificate for black belt status. NAKMAS will implement a procedure that will result in the issuing of a NAKMAS A3 black belt certificate, which will serve as confirmation of NAKMAS's full national accreditation.
