Built for martial arts. Properly accredited. Genuinely not for profit.

Martial Arts Done Right exists to give every instructor, club and association access to the kind of professional, properly regulated services that used to be locked behind association membership.

Established 2020. Trusted by instructors across the UK.

Martial Arts Done Right is not an association, and we are not an insurer. We sit deliberately in the space between the two, which means we can offer independent, professionally accredited services without the politics, the governance requirements or the membership fees that come with a traditional association. You get what you need and nothing you do not.

We are a Community Interest Company, which means every surplus we generate is locked in and reinvested. Not into shareholder dividends or director bonuses, but into building a better platform for the clubs we serve, developing new services, advocating directly to insurers on behalf of instructors, and improving access to qualifications and compliance tools that were previously only available through large governing bodies. We are industry leaders because we chose to invest in being exactly that.

Established and operating

Our
Mission

To make professional insurance, qualifications and compliance accessible to every martial arts instructor and club in the UK, without the barriers of association membership, political allegiance or unnecessary cost.

Our
Vision

A martial arts sector where every instructor is properly insured, every club is genuinely compliant, and the services that make that possible are affordable, transparent and built by people who actually understand the industry they serve.

A real team, with real experience, in a real industry.

We are not a one-person operation running from a kitchen table. Martial Arts Done Right is backed by a dedicated team of martial arts and compliance professionals with over five years of hands-on experience serving clubs and instructors across the UK.

Frequently Asked
Questions

Is Martial Arts Done Right an association or a governing body?

No. We are not an association, a governing body or an NGB. We are an independent provider of insurance, qualifications and compliance services. You do not join us, you do not owe us allegiance, and we will never tell you how to grade your students or run your club.
