BMABA Risk Management for Martial Arts
A specialist course that equips martial arts instructors with the knowledge and strategies to understand insurance, manage risk, and protect themselves, their clubs, and students from claims and liabilities.
What's This Course About?
Running a martial arts club carries unavoidable risks — from genuine accidents on the mats to malicious or opportunistic insurance claims. Even the safest and most professional clubs can face liability, and without the right knowledge, an instructor could find themselves personally accountable for costly losses.
This in-depth online award is designed to give martial arts instructors and club leaders a clear, practical understanding of insurance, claims, and risk management. Drawing from real-world experience, the course unpacks the legal and financial implications of poor risk management, and equips you with the strategies needed to protect yourself, your club, and your students.
Central to the course is a 1 hour 36 minute webinar delivered by our in-house insurance expert, Giovanni. With a plain-speaking, instructor-first approach, Giovanni translates complex insurance jargon into clear, relatable guidance, ensuring you leave with the knowledge and confidence to safeguard your practice.
This course is strongly recommended for any instructor teaching without supervision or holding their own insurance policy. In some cases, it could mean the difference between a successful insurance payout or being left personally liable for thousands of pounds.
