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>\n\t\t\t\t<p>Following that debate, the Minister for Sport wrote formally to commend BMABA&#8217;s work, praising our role in raising safeguarding standards across the independent martial arts sector. She described our contribution as &ldquo;extremely useful&rdquo; to the Department for Culture, Media and Sport&#8217;s ongoing policy development, and thanked us for our ongoing 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>\n\t\t\t\t<p>For our members and the wider martial arts community, this recognition underlines BMABA&#8217;s credibility as a leading voice for independent martial arts in the UK. It demonstrates that our grassroots-driven mission, to promote safe, inclusive, and properly governed martial arts for all, 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>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<button type=\"button\" class=\"bmaba-min__video bmaba-xr__tile\" data-yt=\"HLlWGRax2fA\" aria-label=\"Play: BMABA named in the House of Commons\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"bmaba-xr__thumb\"><img src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/HLlWGRax2fA\/hqdefault.jpg\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"><span class=\"bmaba-xr__play\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"bmaba-xr__label\">Watch: The Minister Names BMABA In The House Of Commons<\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/button>\n\n\t\t\t<figure class=\"bmaba-min__quote bmaba-min__quote--short\">\n\t\t\t\t<blockquote>&ldquo;I appreciate your ongoing efforts to make martial arts safer for children.&rdquo;<\/blockquote>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption>Stephanie Peacock MP, Minister for Sport, Media, Civil Society and Youth<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<a class=\"bmaba-min__btn\" href=\"https:\/\/bmaba.org.uk\/clubs\/association\/our-awards-recognition\/\">Awards &amp; Recognition<\/a>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<section class=\"bmaba-ii__members bmaba-ii__bleed\"><div class=\"bmaba-ii__bleed-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"bmaba-clubs-tool bmaba-tc\" data-bmaba-tool=\"testimonialscarousel\">\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"bmaba-tc__head\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"bmaba-tc__eyebrow\">Testimonials<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"bmaba-tc__heading\">What Do Our Members Say?<\/h2>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"bmaba-tc__viewport\">\n\t\t\t\t<ul class=\"bmaba-tc__track\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-label=\"Member testimonials carousel\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"bmaba-tc__slide\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"bmaba-tc__card\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"bmaba-tc__avatar\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/bmaba.org.uk\/clubs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2025\/07\/Circular-Logo-Blue-BG.png\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"bmaba-tc__name\">D Hurt<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"bmaba-tc__headline\">10 Out Of 10<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<blockquote class=\"bmaba-tc__quote\">Well I was with another organisation for 4 years and came across these guys.
