Introduction

Since 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. We hope you will find the process of certification itself to be educational and will gain even more credibility as a National Women's Martial Arts Federation Certified Instructor.

This is a comprehensive application, meant to cover the full range of skills involved to teach women's self-defense at a high level. Physical skills, verbal skills, anti-violence education, the works.
