Traditional Japanese Martial Arts
International Grading Register
DFMA reserves the right to remove registration of any person without notice or refund in the event that their claims for qualification are proven to be incorrect.
Individuals will receive indirect lineage to Soke Dave Franklin, meaning that their rank is recognised but they do not take on Soke's lineage. Direct lineage can only occur if Soke personally grades the individual. If direct lineage is required then a formal assessment of rank must be performed by Soke.
Soke Dave Franklin strives to make this register of the highest standard, where martial artists around the world are held in high regard by their peers, and can feel proud to be amongst such a group of martial artists. To this end, recognition of qualifications will not be accepted without strict rigor and due process.
