Frequently asked questions
Which category should I choose?
Pick the one that best describes how your organisation presents itself. If you're unsure, choose the closest option - KEMMAF can update it later.
The form says my training centre name is already registered.
Each name can only be registered once. If the existing entry is yours, please contact KEMMAF rather than registering again.
We teach a style that isn't in the list.
Choose the closest styles from the list and mention the others in your facilities description or training schedule. You can also contact KEMMAF to ask for a style to be added.
Can we change our combat styles later?
Yes. Contact KEMMAF if the styles taught at your centre change and the listing will be updated.
Our head coach doesn't have a licence number yet.
That field is optional. KEMMAF can linked a licensed coach at your center after approval.
