Fitness/trainer Certifications

[cdhall]

I thought the American College of Martial Arts (ACMA? or something like this) offered some type of 3rd party fitness/trainer certification for Martial Arts instructors and/or Personal Trainers like
the Cooper Institute http://www.cooperinst.org
does.

Anyone know of who all offers some type of "official" "3rd party" certifications like this? I saw someone yesterday with some type of patch (ACMA?) on and I wondered what it was.

I'm curious also because Mr. Speakman said that your instructor should be an "athlete" and I wonder how many organizations there are out there that offer some type of certification along these lines. Thanks.

Probably not very many out there Doug.
