Leading Martial Arts Instructor Licenses & Certification

The British Martial Arts & Boxing Association (BMABA) is largely recognised as one of the leading UK martial arts associations for instructor certification and licensing. Our very high eligibility threshold ensures BMABA instructors are seen as highly professional, competent and vetted instructors.

We’ve been approaching instructor certification in martial arts – and the need for modern, professional standards – since 2012. To date we’ve issued tens of thousands of instructor and membership certificates. These are all associated with relevant records and registration dates, so every single document can be confirmed – even if you don’t wish to remain with us in the future.

With our association’s licensing and certification, you can be assured that;

What Documentation Do We Issue BMABA Instructors With?

Association Membership Certificate

This document confirms that you are a registered member of our association, and confirms the dates of your current membership term. This is usually considered a requirement for any instructor needing to provide evidence of membership to a Governing Body.

Instructor’s Certificate

This certification confirms that a BMABA registered instructor has undergone our vetting process and provided all necessary evidence to meet our eligibility threshold for instructors and coaches. It’s a key document that summarises what disciplines we recognise you to be competently graded or qualified to instructor. Effectively, this helps tie together often numerous certificates (if practicing more than one style) into a singular, governing body issued certificate. The certificate features your membership term for confirmation that it is current. This document is considered a key piece of evidence whenever you need to evidence yourself as a competent or ‘recognised’ instructor.

Instructor’s License

This is often regarded as one of the most influential documents available to a martial arts instructor. The instructor’s license ties together evidence of numerous competencies – safeguarding, insurance, DBS checks, licensing, first aid, qualifications and more. All of this evidence is pre-vetted before the license is issued, thus effectively ensuring any BMABA instructor in possession of an instructor’s license can demonstrate to students, parents or schools that they are among one of the most highly vetted martial arts instructors in the United Kingdom.
