A Proven Approach For

Mass Instruction

The Global Martial Arts University is a world-leader in at-home martial arts training and ranking. Since 2008, we have been raising the standards of distance training, creating high quality training programs, and making home study a legitimate option for those who are unable to attend a local studio.Our courses include top quality video lessons, follow-along classes, and extra training materials to guide a student from white to black belt.The programs are easy to follow, for complete novices or hard core martial artists. Students are able to contact their instructor, receive feedback/corrections on their assignments, and even a personalised feedback video upon having an exam graded. There is a living, breathing community of peers training alongside students in our courses, who encourage one another and make the

experience to black belt even more meaningful.

A Pioneer in Online Martial Arts Training

Launched in 2008, the Global Martial Arts University (previously known as Black Belt at Home) began with DVD home study courses.
The first online martial arts school to required the logging of hours, completion of assignments, and to offer video feedback on exams.
The GMAU website launched in 2016. Our website includes proprietary technology that creates a better student experience, and gives our instructors the ability to do more.
Proponents of kaizen. Always improving for the sake of our students.
More than 1,000 students in over 40 countries and growing month-over-month.

The Freedom to Teach Wherever, Wherener

As a GMAU Instructor, you work on your own schedule. Students are able to watch videos at their own pace, complete assignments, and exams at-will. You can grade exams once a week, and film new material a few days a month.Travel around the world, as you serve your growing student base, without being tied down to a specific brick-and-mortar location.

Be First - Be The Best

Be the first person to offer a world-class home ranking program for your art.
There is significant growth in the adoption of online education, now is the time.
Reach those who previously had no other way to train (rural areas, far-away countries, odd working schedules, can't afford local classes).
Join with the best. By launching a GMAU course, you will be among a group of instructors and individuals who always put quality first.

The Opportunity

Success Story

Ready to join forces with global?

If you are serious about launching your own course, please apply below. We are accepting applications for any martial art style.

You will need to film a "course vision" video, in which you talk about your goal and vision for the GMAU course that you want to launch. Upload this to youtube as an unlisted video. Copy the URL into the application form.

Also, film a "teaching video", in which you teach one technique from your style. You can teach the video alone, or with a student on screen. The video and audio quality does not have to be perfect (just use your phone to film), but this will give us a look at your teaching style.

We appreciate you taking the time to apply, and look forward to chatting with you about launching a course with the GMAU!
