As members of the CMAA, TKD Hawks is also associated with the Martial Arts Standards Agency (MASA). They have a basic policy in place that all members and associates follow which is known as the MASA 5:
1. To have a valid and traceable Black Belt or equivalent in Martial Arts.
2. To have a valid and traceable NVQ or equivalent in sports/martial arts coaching.
3. To have valid and traceable Instructor Indemnity Insurance of a minimum of £5 million.
4. To have a CRB enhanced disclosure check that is no more 2 years old.
5. To have a clear pricing structure with no hidden costs.
TKD Hawks has all 5 of these policies in place for all Certified Instructors within the organisation, unlike other Martial Arts Centres/Organisation which therefore may conclude that others are not running legitimate classes. We would recommend to anyone interested or that is currently involved in Martial Arts to check that their organisation/Instructors have all 5 of these policies in place.
