It\u2019s not about gatekeeping; it\u2019s about upholding the integrity of our community and ensuring only genuine, qualified martial arts instructors gain BMABA affiliation.

levels of Government for our commitment to safeguarding in martial arts. During a House of Commons debate on combat sport safety, the Minister for Sport, Stephanie Peacock MP, highlighted the British Martial Arts &amp; Boxing Association by name for our work in supporting independent and unaffiliated clubs to adopt the Safeguarding Code in Martial Arts. This direct mention in Parliament demonstrates that our efforts to raise standards and protect participants are shaping the national conversation on safety in combat sports.<\/p><p data-start=\"782\" data-end=\"1341\">Following that debate, the Minister for Sport wrote formally to commend BMABA\u2019s work, praising our role in ensuring safeguarding standards across the independent martial arts sector. She described our contribution as <em data-start=\"999\" data-end=\"1019\">\u201cextremely useful\u201d<\/em> to the Department for Culture, Media and Sport\u2019s ongoing policy development and explicitly appreciated our efforts to make martial arts safer for children. This recognition reflects the trust placed in BMABA to help Government address urgent safeguarding challenges highlighted by recent tragedies within combat sports.<\/p><p data-start=\"1343\" data-end=\"1935\">For our members and the wider martial arts community, this recognition underlines BMABA\u2019s credibility as a leading voice for independent martial arts in the UK. It demonstrates that our grassroots-driven mission \u2014 to promote safe, inclusive, and properly regulated martial arts for all \u2014 is influencing national policy and gaining ministerial support. Being referenced in Parliament and commended in writing by the Minister for Sport reinforces that BMABA is not just a governing body, but a sector-shaping organisation working to protect participants and secure the future of martial arts.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a81e244 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"a81e244\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p data-start=\"208\" data-end=\"780\">BMABA is the only organisation able to issue the Sport England funded Safeguarding Code in Martial Arts Award directly from our member&#8217;s area on receipt of our Club Colours Award.

in 2018. As one of the first associations to adopt and champion the Code, we\u2019ve proudly held organisational certification since the scheme expanded to governing bodies \u2014 and we continue to work closely with the SCiMA team to uphold and advance safeguarding standards across the sector. In fact, we\u2019re currently the only association in the UK empowered to issue SCiMA certification automatically to clubs that complete our free Club Colours Award \u2014 a testament to the rigour and credibility of our internal safeguarding policies and governance.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-197f196 e-con-full e-flex
