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.

From a free club website to template documents, grading certificates through to black belt gradings. Networking, printing, syllabus recognition, student insurance; you name it – we’ve got it. One place, one login, one renewal. Simple.

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.

From a free club website, marketing advice and business support through to template risk assessments, stock grading certificates and printing – our membership provides you with access to dozens of resources and tools to help you grow your club and retain students.

From instructor certificates and recognition of grade documentation through to vocational Dan gradings, syllabus licensing, instructor licenses and more; our membership provides access to fully comprehensive licensing 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.

We’ve been strictly politics free since 2012 and pride ourselves on running a community led organisation on the sound principles of good governance and genuine transparency.

You remain able to run your club with absolute independence, free of interference. What’s more, you’ll be backed up by our multi-award winning governing body with certification, licensing, endorsement, business support and more as standard.

We’re Absolutely Certain There’s Nobody Else In The Market Who Can Offer Your Club What We Can

Access absolutely everything your club will ever need, all inclusive in an affordable membership. Insurance, DBS, safeguarding, first aid, risk management, club development, SEO, analytics, club management platforms, template documents, design software, uniform and clothing, support, guidance – and so much more. Thousands of pounds of extras all wrapped up in one affordable plan.

Membership for UK Martial Arts Clubs There's No Other Martial Arts Association That Packs So Much Into Each Membership

Access thousands of pounds of extra resources and tools to help your club thrive – from model templates and stock grading certificates through to grant programmes and training courses.

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.
