MARTIAL ARTS INTERNATIONAL FEDERATION TM
- INTERNATIONALLY RECOGNIZED ITJ DAN GRADES -


The below listed individuals are certified International Taiho Jutsu Dan Grade Holders with the Martial Arts International Federation (MAIF) TM.

Although the MAIF has Black Belt members from other associations, only the below listed black belts have their rank certified by the Martial Arts International Federation TM.

If you are a Taiho Jutsuka, and would like to have your rank certified by the Martial arts International Federation (MAIF) TM, you may do so by completing the below requirements. Click here for detailed membership information.

Important Notice: It has been recently brought to the attention of the International Headquarters that there are individuals who are fraudulently or mistakenly claiming to hold MAIF rank certification. Unless the person claiming this rank is in possession of an actual MAIF rank certificate and their name is listed below (Dan level rank only), then their rank is not valid with the MAIF. To report improper claims of MAIF Yudansha or Mudansha grades or to further verify an individual’s rank, contact our Global Headquarters..
