The KCAcademy is dedicated to providing a qualified and reliable source of leadership for all of our promotion testing. We have spent years refining our trusted combination of martial arts executives that follow strict organizational guideline at all times.  Our multi-school Dan level testing sets the standard for other schools and organizations to follow. Our certification process is considered to be relatively stringent by today's standards. We issue and recognize only organizational certifications for all black belt levels, as well as for all martial arts weapons. Our rank transfer process is also considered to be rather difficult, but for very good reasons. All KCAcademy members and affiliates must possess ALL Dan level certifications, not just for their current rank. This is done to eliminating any questionable circumstances. Current and official organizational appointments override any rank in organizational matters. All appointments must include proper documentation. Hapkido rank supersedes all other rank inside any Hapkido organization. All rank and appointment certification(s) are null and void upon relinquishment or expulsion from an organization. Proof of submitting a letter of resignation is required to show that a leadership level member chose to leave an organization honorably. We do not and will not issue or recognize  'honorary rank', but anyone qualifies to purchase or receive a 10th Gup certification.

>>>10th Gup (White Belt) - 1st Gup (Senior Red Belt)<<<

>>>1st, 2nd & 3rd (Black Belts), 4th, 5th & 6th (Masters), 7th, 8th & 9th (Grandmasters)<<<
