Design software . Included with membership
Your club, properly designed.
A full drag and drop design studio built into MyBMABA. Grading certificates, posters, social graphics, membership cards and anything else your club needs, made in the browser with nothing to install and no design experience required.
Most clubs are not short of ideas. They are short of an afternoon, a design budget, and someone who knows their way around Photoshop. So the grading certificate gets typed in Word, the poster gets made on a phone, and the whole thing quietly undersells a club that is actually very good.
Eighteen things you will stop paying someone else for.
For the mat
Grading certificates Belt and stripe awards Attendance and effort certificates Student of the month Syllabus handouts Class timetablesFor getting seen
Social media posts and stories Taster session flyers Posters for the local noticeboard Banners and roller banner artwork Seminar and grading promo graphics Competition entry graphicsFor running the club
Membership and licence cards Welcome packs for new starters Price lists and joining information Parent information sheets Event programmes Thank you and sponsor artworkGrading certificates that look like the grade meant something.
A certificate is the only thing from a grading that a student keeps. It goes on a bedroom wall, gets photographed, gets shown to grandparents. It is the cheapest marketing your club will ever do, and it is usually the worst looking thing you produce.
Design yours properly in the full screen editor: your crest, your colours, your discipline names and your grade structure. Save it as a reusable design, then produce the whole grading’s worth in an afternoon rather than handwriting names onto a template you bought in 2014.
Certificate design service
Drag, drop, done.
Text, shapes, images, icons, backgrounds and layers, all moved around by hand until it looks right. Snap to guides, lock elements you have finished with, and undo freely while you experiment.
Upload your own crest and photography, set your club colours once, and reuse both across everything you make. Export print-ready for a certificate or sized for social, and come back and edit the original whenever the details change.
Runs entirely in the browser. Nothing to install, nothing to license, and it works on a laptop in the club office or a tablet at the kitchen table.
Design software is another subscription you should not be paying for.
Clubs typically run a design tool, a website builder, an email platform and a scheduling app, each with its own monthly bill. BMABA CIC is a not-for-profit Community Interest Company: we build these tools and include them, because a club spending less on software has more to spend on mats, insurance and coaching.
Multi-Award Winning & Nationally Recognised
One drawer in a very large toolbox.
Everything below arrives on the same membership, at the same price of nothing. Most clubs join for one of these and end up using six.
None of this is a loss leader.
BMABA CIC is a not-for-profit Community Interest Company and the independent martial arts governing body for around 1,500 clubs and more than 6,500 instructors across 200+ disciplines. We hold ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 27001:2022 under UKAS accreditation, we are regulated by the CIC Regulator with a legal asset lock, and we have been named in the House of Commons by the Minister for Sport.
The software is free because the asset lock means there is no margin to protect and no shareholder to pay. Membership income funds the next tool, the next course and the next member service, which is exactly why the qualifications, the insurance and the safeguarding support sit alongside the technology rather than being sold separately.
Make something worth putting your crest on.
Join free, open the design studio, and have your next grading certificate finished tonight.
