Martial Arts First Aid Training

First aid is a non-negotiable responsibility for anyone teaching martial arts. Every instructor, assistant, and volunteer must be prepared to act if a student is injured or becomes unwell. But with thousands of clubs spread across the UK, we know that sourcing in-person training locally is often the quickest, most cost-effective solution for clubs.

That’s why BMABA focuses on providing high-quality online first aid training and refresher courses. Our programmes are designed to quickly upskill instructors and club staff to the minimum recognised standard required by insurers, while also supporting ongoing CPD and reinforcing essential first aid knowledge.

This training is not intended to replace a full in-person qualification — and we actively encourage clubs to arrange those locally where possible. Instead, our online courses ensure every instructor and volunteer has accessible, affordable, and immediate access to the core knowledge needed to meet licensing requirements and maintain safe practice.
