BMABA CIC is a multi-award-winning, independent martial arts association supporting more than 100,000 instructors and students across the UK. We champion grassroots participation, raise professional standards, and empower clubs with the tools, licensing, insurance, and guidance they need to thrive.

As a not-for-profit organisation, every step we take is about creating positive change — for our members and for the wider community. From safeguarding and compliance to national representation and real social impact through our Fighting Chance Foundation, we’re here to make martial arts safer, more inclusive, and more respected across the country.

Built from just £20 in 2012, we exist to serve the martial arts community — not shareholders.
