NOTE: All of the Black Belts listed on this page were in-fact promoted by Grand Master Preston Baker, *Otis Baker (until his passing in 2017) or Grand Master Stan KcKinney. Some had acquired high rank in various other styles with other Teachers prior to studying with the Bakers. However, they achieved the degree under which they are listed, in the Okinawan/Eclectic, Shorei Goju-Ryu style with Baker's Dojo of Karate, Education & Science and/or Kenpo Karate with Mt Carmel Martial Arts Academy and thus will ever be archived as Members of the UNITED MARTIAL ARTS ASSOCIATION'S permanent records.
