Martial arts does not work like that. Head injury in our sport arrives through strikes, through takedowns and throws, through the back of a head meeting a mat during breakfall practice, and through the cumulative low-level contact of ordinary sparring. CHIMA is built around those mechanisms because they are the ones you will be standing in front of.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<p>BMABA published the UK&rsquo;s first dedicated concussion qualification for martial arts instructors in 2020. This is the second edition, rewritten to reflect the November 2024 UK Concussion Guidelines for Non-Elite (Grassroots) Sport, the research that has moved quickly since on grappling, falls and repeated low-level impact, and the legal exposure that has already reshaped rugby and boxing and is arriving in martial arts.<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/section>\n\n\t\t\t<section class=\"bmaba-ch__syllabus\" id=\"bmaba-ch-syllabus\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"bmaba-ch__syllabus-head\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"bmaba-ii__eyebrow bmaba-ii__eyebrow--dark\">The Full Running Order<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2>Every Lesson, In The Order You Will Study Them<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"bmaba-ii__lead\">Seventeen lessons and a closing summary, across five modules.
