AFFILIATION
There is a place in the AKD :project affiliate community for you, whether you are a gym, dojo, or an independent instructor or coach.
The AKD :project Partner Programme is unique because our goals are the same as yours - we simply want to create more functional fitness + martial arts enthusiasts who want to be part of a strong community. Our different affiliation levels provide all the tools, support, and benefits to help integrate AKD :project into your schools and businesses (or even set up a brand new purely AKD :project Training Group, if that is your preference), creating a new attractive entry point through which more people can reach their potential.
partner gymS
Attract New Members | Build Community
Gyms looking to add something different to their offering, especially as an alternative for people that are interested in martial arts + functional fitness but to whom MMA, Boxing, BJJ, and Muay Thai just don’t appeal. Provide your members with a new foundational skillset to develop and train towards, while building a strong community of like-minded individuals training to be able to look after themselves better.
partner dojos
new Gateway to your art | Build Cross-discipline community
Karate, Aikido, Judo (and similar) dojos can use AKD :project as a gateway through which new people can find their arts, as well as providing it as a standalone alternative. This is especially exciting as AKD :project’s unique, modern, approach and presentation has the potential to reach and attract a broad audience that would otherwise not be exposed to other martial arts.
AFFILIATE instructors + coaches
develop an independent practice
Existing instructors of Karate, Aikido, Judo (and other similar derivatives) can expand their practice - whether online, remotely, or in a 1:1 IRL (in real life) setting - to become better martial artists, improve their fitness, or learn specific new skills to add to their repertoire. AKD :project instructors and coaches can become a Certified AKD :project Coach or Instructor through the
The Foundry (our academy), thereafter enjoying the same benefits as our affiliated gyms and dojos.
