What Does Our Membership Offer?
BMABA is one of the UK’s leading multi-style, independent associations for martial arts and combat instructors, clubs, senseis & coaches.
Our membership is renowned as being the most comprehensive available to UK clubs and instructors. We don’t just offer certification, nor just insurance. Instead we bundle dozens of tools, features, licensing provisions, insurances and resources into a single membership package. We are confident you will not find another martial arts association in the UK able to offer so much for so little.

We’re politics free, completely independent, community led and fiercely committed to the development of our industry, leading the way for change and a modern martial arts industry.

Affordable Insurance & Core Provisions
Access affordable instructor, student and club insurance, as well as access to discounted first aid training, enhanced DBS checks, safeguarding qualifications and more, exclusively for BMABA clubs and instructors.

Certification That Makes The Right Impression
Too many associations still issue amateur documentation to instructors. This not only devalues the membership, but also doesn’t help you when it comes to instilling trust in schools, venues and parents. BMABA Certification is visually stunning, professionally issued and all links back to our national instructor register which can be checked in real-time.

- Visually Stunning
- Stands Apart From The Crowd
- Available Digitally And In Print
