CIT 2026 Starts This Weekend — MAP Is Coming Next
Team KMMA Family,
This Saturday, we officially kick off our 2026 Certified Instructor Training (CIT)—and I couldn’t be more excited to see the next generation of KMMA leaders step forward.
But I also want to give you an early heads-up about something new we’re building behind the scenes…
Introducing the KMMA MAP Track (Coming Soon)
Over the years, many of our best leaders didn’t just grow as instructors—they grew as business leaders, communicators, organizers, and culture builders.
So in 2026, we’re launching a brand-new leadership pathway:
KMMA MAP – Marketing & Management Pathway
Think of MAP as:
-
CIT for the business side of KMMA
-
A leadership track for those interested in marketing, operations, enrollment, team leadership, and program direction
-
Ideal for anyone who may want to pursue a future role as a Program Director or school leader at KMMA
-
Training that will serve you anywhere, even beyond KMMA
Just like CIT develops confident instructors and leaders on the mat, MAP develops confident leaders off the mat—people who understand how a great school runs, grows, and serves families at a high level.
