Advocating for Martial Artists Since 2013
Founded in 2013, the National Council on Martial Arts began as a grassroots support group addressing the needs of martial arts students and school owners. Over a decade later, we have evolved into a comprehensive organization offering specialized services that unify martial artists across disciplines. Our core mission centers on fostering professional camaraderie through standardized certification programs, competitive championships governed by certified officials, and strategic school management resources. With a volunteer board composed of experienced martial artists, we maintain rigorous quality standards while promoting accessibility for all practitioners. Our Black Belt Registry and Hall of Fame serve as industry-recognized benchmarks, while our U.S.Championships exemplify fair competition through transparent guidelines. We provide tailored support for school owners seeking enrollment growth and security improvements, alongside global verification systems that authenticate martial arts credentials. Our inclusive approach accepts all martial arts styles and practitioners, emphasizing ethical leadership and community building. Through digital platforms and in-person events, we facilitate connections between students, instructors, and institutions worldwide. Our commitment to martial arts integrity remains unwavering, combining traditional values with modern organizational practices to advance the discipline globally.

Report
The 5BBC is the nicest bike club in the city, as far as I'm concerned. It has multiple levels of ridership and everyone is very pleasant. No leaving riders crashed on the side of the road -- as can happen in other clubs. It's also a great way to see the city. The rides just don't go around the city, but the leaders often know interesting information about historic places.
