MORE FROM US
Promos, Resources, Events & Updates
Most associations offer two or three of these. We built all of them so you are not juggling a broker, a web company, and a marketing agency separately.

Public Liability Insurance
Martial Arts Schools require a different type of Public Liability cover than Gyms / PT Studios because of the diverse range of contact activities and equipment used in a club. It makes sense to go with a specialised broker who understands your industry and business to find the right policy to fit your needs.

Insure Property & Contents
Protecting your martial arts club from fire, water and other perils, is easy with a Bus Pack Insurance Policy. It's essential to select the right elements to cover your business appropriately, which may include equipment, business interruption, glass breakage, accidental damage, theft and burglary. Your broker will also assist in helping you select the right limits.

Travel Insurance for Martial Art Teams
This coverage is not for individual martial arts students doing their own training, it's for a Club or Association taking a team, as this is a corporate travel package. Travel Insurance coverage for training and competing in any style. The policy covers all the normal stuff you expect from a travel package (cancellations, delays, loss of items, medical etc) but includes the activities of martial arts participation. Your Martial Arts Team can leave and return at different times and each person is charged on a day rate (minimum of 7 days). This gives great flexibility for those wanting to extend their training holiday.

Get Certified
Instructor Accreditation & Upskilling - Right Here! Up-skill your own martial arts knowledge by learning more about sports science, administration, marketing and business in our instructor courses. Use these courses as part of your own martial arts instructor's development program. Get your own team ready to open up branches for you upon their course completion. Start anytime from anywhere and complete it in your own time.
Martial Arts Management Software
Integrating and automating functionalities with your admin and marketing processes is crucial to operate your martial arts business / school successfully.

Martial Arts Club Student Billing
Finding a billing company that knows your martial arts business, has the service and the best rates, can be difficult. That's why we make it easier to select the right one.

Martial Arts Websites Designed, Hosted & Marketed
It's not 'rocket science' to create an amazing martial arts website that looks great and gets you leads. It's experience, the right technology and the team behind it, that makes it happen! Ask us how we can raise your martial arts profile and improve your online presence, to gain more students. Designed from $595.
Martial Arts Promotional Videos
Create custom built or pre-made promo martial arts videos to share your message in the most powerful way. Our creative full suite makes it easy and cost effective.
