Rank is a valuable tool of our trade. As you are aware there are many instructors that give themselves whatever rank or pay big money to mail order organizations to obtain a rank or belt of their choice. This happens daily! We agree it should not be this way. However, there is nothing like authenticity!! That's us, the Alliance. We do not grant rank to anyone! Each candidate must meet certain requirements before we will authorize rank. Our International Advisory Board Members must all agree before ranks are bestowed. If you would like the Alliance to honor your current rank or would like a rank review please download the attached application. Note: All 5th degrees and higher automatically placed on our National Review Board. 8th degrees and higher are automatically placed on our International Review Board. Be aware: The information you provide regarding your background and training will be researched and verified. Our Board of Review accepts all styles, Traditional and American Free Style.
Here you will find forms to apply for rank through the Alliance. (Note: Must Have Adobe Reader To View These Forms)
