Approved Martial Art Styles and Weapons
Below is the IMASA Alphabetical list of approved Martial Art styles for Insurance purposes:
Club Membership costs £10.00 Annually.
Many Martial Art clubs now add other disciplines/techniques to their own style, please be aware if an injury was to occur whilst teaching a technique that is not common to your style, you could find yourself liable to a claim for reckless behaviour and your Instructor Policy becomes voidable.
If in doubt, stick to what you know and have the qualifications for - It’s not rocket science.
