HKMMAF and IMMAF Pilot Online Practical Coaching Examination 01/15/21
During the lockdowns wrought by COVID-19, the International Mixed Martial Arts Federation has piloted online examinations for the practical element of its MMA coaching courses, to complement the theoretical component already conducted in the digital sphere.
In June 2020, IMMAF member, the Hong Kong MMA Federation, submitted a proposal for the complete certification of its coaches through an online examination. Heading the initiative were head coach Alberto Mina, an ex-UFC professional, and Jon Bond of Club “Hybrid”.
The two candidates participated in a two-month training program designed by Mina, in accordance with the IMMAF Syllabus. With the aid of the “Teach Me” videos in the IMMAF Mobile App, the candidates were able to gage the standard required by IMMAF to qualify MMA coaches.
