Board of Advisors

US Martial Arts Grand National Association is not the name of a martial arts tournament. It is a martial arts organization created for the sole purpose of supporting martial arts tournaments of all styles and systems.

Our Board of Advisors are a group of Martial Arts Instructors, Tournament Promoters, Leaders, and Directors of martial arts groups and organizations of all styles and systems. They are a group of individuals who have lots of connections and experience in networking and relationships building across all martial arts disciplines. Our mission is to join a worldwide effort to help Sports Martial Arts Competitions and its athletes to become more mainstream.

The US Martial Arts Grand National Association is designed to offer tournament ratings and/or sanctioning’s. When promoters rate their tournaments with us, they are free to rate their tournaments with other rating systems as well. The only requirement that we have, is that the promoter provides us with a copy of the tournament results so that we can post it on our website.

When promoters rate their tournaments with US Martial Arts Grand National Association, we will post a copy of the tournament announcement (flyer) on each of our social media platforms (USMAGNA website, Facebook page, Instagram, X, and YouTube Channel). Our Executive Staff Members will also help promote those tournament announcements on their social media platforms, so long as the tournaments do not conflict with another tournament that they may have already made plans to support and/or be a part of.

Our tournament rating system is designed to recognize (from the tournament results that promoters provide to us) the names of competitors who are USMAGNA registered members. Each registered member is awarded State, Regional, National, and International US Martial Arts Grand National Association Championship points. The names of those competitors will be posted in the competitor Point Standing section of our website. The competitor Point Standing will also show the number of points that each registered competitor has accumulated in each event they compete in after each tournament.

Tournament promoters are not required to be registered members of the US Martial Arts Grand National Association in order to promote their tournaments on our website and other media platforms. Promoters are also not required to be registered members to have their tournament rated by our organization, but a tournament rating fee will be required. No rating fee will be required for tournament promoters who are registered members of USMAGNA.

Please take a moment to browse our website for a chance to see the opportunities that the US Martial Arts Grand National Association has to offer all styles and systems of martial arts competitions.
