[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

We know for numerous clubs that practice style(s) outside of a Sport England NGB that the thought of having to remain at Phase 0 (socially distanced, zero contact training) until June 21st at the earliest has been an incredibly difficult realisation to arrive at. We know it’s further impacted by some clubs with access to a phased return of contact training, and others who are having to make use of ‘neighbouring’ policies from closely associated disciplines. All in all, it’s far from ideal.<\/h3>\n

With this in mind, we’re very pleased to say that following complex discussions with Sport England’s Return to Play team over the past few weeks, we’ve now been given permission to issue a temporary policy that will allow all styles currently without a formally accepted Return to Play policy the opportunity to resume at Phase 1 and 2 (as relevant) at an organisation level.<\/p>\n

Exactly Why This Is Important And What It Means?<\/h3>\n

Until now only a very small number of styles and disciplines which have a Sport England approved NGB have been granted the ability to have a Return to Play (RtP) policy reviewed and approved. These styles are;<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Boxing<\/li>\n
  2. Brazilian Jui-Jitsu<\/li>\n
  3. British Ju Jitsu<\/li>\n
  4. Taekwondo<\/li>\n
  5. Judo<\/li>\n
  6. Wrestling<\/li>\n
  7. Kickboxing<\/li>\n
  8. Aikido<\/li>\n
  9. Kendo<\/li>\n
  10. Karate<\/li>\n
  11. Krav Maga<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    (Please note that at time of writing, some of these disciplines are yet to have their RtPs formally approved)<\/em><\/p>\n

    With more than 100 disciplines and styles represented by BMABA alone there is clearly a huge section of the independent market that until now has had no firm way of out Phase 0, zero-contact training.<\/p>\n

    The confirmation we have received from Sport England today (15\/04\/21) now permits us to publish to our members a specific policy framework that will act as a temporary RtP policy document. This will allow all currently unrepresented styles access to the DCMS phases of return and the wider risk mitigation measures seen by the above referenced policies.<\/p>\n

    This will enable\u00a0all<\/span> styles of martial arts we represent the ability to resume contact training at Phases 1 and 2 (per the DCMS guidance) whilst any formal reviews for RtPs are assessed by DCMS.<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

    What Styles Would Be Able To Use BMABA’s Guidance?<\/h3>\n

    [\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]Only styles without a DCMS approved Return to Play policy would be able to make use of this guidance policy document. It is not an approved Return to Play policy – we have agreed with Sport England that as the process for this to happen is lengthy, whilst we continue to work toward this on a few differing disciplines, a temporary and immediate document that ties together official guidance for styles without representation would be much more beneficial.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_message]Where any approved Return to Play policy exists and has been signed off by DCMS, this policy must be adopted. BMABA’s policy will be permissible as a temporary measure for as long as no NGB policy exists. To the best of our knowledge, we have removed the styles below – all of which we register and insure – to exclude disciplines which have a direct RtP for their art.[\/vc_message][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row_content” css=”.vc_custom_1618505940886{padding-top: 40px !important;padding-bottom: 20px !important;background-color: #efefef !important;}” el_id=”styles”][vc_column][vc_row_inner css=”.vc_custom_1618505979813{padding-top: 40px !important;padding-bottom: 40px !important;background-color: #ededed !important;}”][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

    Has This Decision Been Approved By Sport England?<\/h3>\n

    Yes, it has. Throughout the pandemic we have steered toward only releasing guidance which is factual and to the best of our knowledge accurate. When Return to Play policies were mandated before styles could resume contact training, rather than publishing what we thought might be permissible, we’ve established direct contact with Sport England’s Return to Play team and have secured confirmation that;<\/p>\n
