We are happy to announce that the 2024 Never Settle Awards are accepting nominations until August 17, 2024.
Now in its third year, the Never Settle Awards aims to spread awareness of the great things that martial artists do for their schools and their communities. Currently, four core awards are presented each year, and an opportunity to recognize martial artists who have passed on is also available as awards are not awarded posthumously.
We Need Your Help
We know a lot of martial artists, but there are a lot of martial artists out there that we don't know that you do and would deserve one or more of these awards. Please take the time to nominate a deserving martial artist as a thank you and to spread awareness of the great things that martial artists do both in our martial arts schools and in our communities.
The Flashlight Award recognizes those who deserve recognition for what they bring to martial arts and do not typically get it.
The Enduring Footprint Award recognizes those who make a lasting impact on the martial arts community as a whole.
The Emissary of the Arts Award recognizes those who extend the core ideas of martial arts beyond their schools and include their community in an effort to make the world a better place.
The Open Door Award recognizes both individuals and schools that make martial arts available to and a positive place for as many kinds of people as possible.
