NWMAf Self-Defense Instructor Certification Overview
IntroductionSince the early 1970s, the National Women's Martial Arts Federation has pioneered in the development of self defense instruction, bringing together highly-trained martial artists and women knowledgeable about the issues of violence - enabling them to gain support, share ideas and promote quality programs. We believe that women deserve the highest standards in self defense instructors.
