Professional Grading Certificates, Ready to Use
Unlock A Professional Range Of Nationally Recognised Grading Certificates For Your Club
In today’s world, a flimsy, throwaway certificate simply doesn’t hold weight — parents and students see straight through it. That’s why BMABA gives you more than just a piece of paper. With us, you unlock the power of our trademarked, nationally recognised brand name, backed by professional design and cutting-edge technology to ensure every grade you award carries genuine credibility.
You can choose from pre-designed, Word-editable certificates, use our professional online editor to create something unique, or draw from our extensive library of templates. Our LSGR (Lifetime Student Grade Register) also allows you to issue pre-filled, nationally recognised grades that are permanently recorded and verifiable. And for clubs using our free Club Management Platform, certificates can be designed, customised, and digitally issued with all the correct student and grade details automatically populated.
Best of all, any grades awarded by BMABA clubs in good standing are nationally recognised, giving your students not just a certificate — but a credential with real value and recognition across the UK.

True To Our Word — For The Right Reasons
In March 2025, Giovanni Soffietto — who founded BMABA with just £20 and a mission to change martial arts for the better — voluntarily signed over 100% of his shareholding in what was then a privately-owned limited company. There was no requirement to do so. By converting BMABA into a regulated Community Interest Company (CIC), Giovanni permanently transferred all assets — including more than £1.6 million in self-generated value — into the public domain. That means BMABA is now legally locked into operating for the benefit of our clubs and communities, not shareholders or private profit. It’s not just words or promises — it’s independently verifiable, legally enforceable, and built into the very fabric of how we operate.
BMABA CIC
Not Just Another Martial Arts Association
Independent, modern, and accountable — BMABA CIC is rewriting what a governing body should look like. We’re professional, regulated, member-driven, and relentlessly focused on raising the standards of martial arts in the UK.
