See How We Can Help
Multi-Award Winning & Truly Politics Free
We’re a completely different generation of martial arts association, focused on entrepreneurial spirit and a professional, customer services driven operation. We’re multi-award winning and truly disruptive in UK martial arts. And we love that.
Self-Funded Change.
Despite reaching out to Sport England, DCMS and others over the past more than a decade of using martial arts to drive change, our pleas have fallen on deaf ears. So we’ve taken on the mountain ourselves, funding our own programmes and effecting real grassroots change through our clubs.
#PunchLikeAGirl
Our focused campaign to champion female martial arts leaders, and to get more women and girls into practical self defence.
Fighting Chance Scholarships
Our flagship programme, offering scholarships to children growing up in poverty to help them get into martial arts.
#DitchTheBlade
Working with communities to tackle the endemic issue that is knife crime and youth violence.
From £20 to 100,000 Members.
See how our founder, aged just twenty, took £20 of ‘start up capital’ and turned it into the success story that is BMABA. A true rags-to-riches story of a young lad growing up in poverty using martial arts to break free, and give back.
