It’s Now Time to Enroll as
a Full GMAU Taekwondo Student
and Start Your Journey to Black Belt!

This is WTF Taekwondo, the most popular style in the world, that is also used at the world-stage every four years at the games. Our style does not focus solely on sparring, or poomsae (forms). The style teaches a well-rounded system of taekwondo: poomse, sparring, and self defense applications.

1. Train with the lessons and classes. Once you have logged the minimum training hours required, you are eligible to submit your test.
2. Next, simply follow the instructions on the testing page, to film and submit your video exam.
3. Your instructor will do a detailed grading of your exam, and will also film a personalized feedback video with corrections and guidance.
4. Once you pass, you will receive your official certificate of rank. If you do not pass the first time, you will be given corrections, and can resubmit without paying another fee.

Although it is not a complete necessity, it can be very beneficial to have a training partner. The techniques can be practiced solo (preferably with a mirror or on a training bag). In the rank exam video, the self defense section can be demonstrated solo or with a partner. If a partner is not available for self defense demonstrations, a hanging bag or realistic dummy can be useful.

Yes it does! We donate a good portion of our proceeds every month to people and projects that are making the world a better place. From planting organic gardens to feed the homeless, to a martial arts school teaching underprivileged kids, to good people who have fallen under hard times and illnesses, schools in Africa, people combating ailments with natural herbs, and more - we are working on helping others and spreading abundance.

This is simply an option that is available to you. We have a lot of students who just like training and learning the material on their own, without the goal of earning rank through us. That is just fine. If you ever need anything, you can still get help through our Instructor Support.

Yes, all rank awarded is recognized and accredited through the Global Martial Arts Association, Ultimate Training Martial Arts Association, the Association of Martial Artists World Wide, as well as various local and national training centers. If you are looking to receive a certification or ranking through a specific group – then you must contact them directly. If you are purely interested in mastering the art itself, improving yourself, and earning accredited rank as you progress – then our course will be a good fit.

No. Certificates issued are the same as those awarded to physical training students. This is because we have the same syllabus, testing requirements, and student standards in our online course. Since you are not physically attending classes, you will need to put in extra work and have a much higher level of self-discipline in order to advance.

Yes. Rank exams are $60 each for yellow – red belt. The fee covers the time and energy that your instructor takes out working with you and grading your exam. Your instructor will take out a good chunk of time to study your exam, grade it, make detailed notes, and work back and forth with you in communication. Your instructor will also film a personalized feedback video for you! Your instructor will demonstrate some of your errors, go over tips, corrections, guidance, and anything that will help you improve. The fee also covers your official certificate of rank.

Great! You are an even better candidate for studying at home, since you have trained in the past. If you hold rank in shotokan, then you can follow our rank transfer procedure. Otherwise, you will need to start at the beginning.

Yes! We have lots of kids training in this program. We recommend this program for ages 6 and up. For ages 6-9, your child will be most successful when a parent is present assisting (or training alongside) at least somewhat during the training. For kids ages 10 and up, they can usually do the training on their own. The program is well designed for kids and adults.
