COMPREHENSIVE MARTIAL ARTS TOURNAMENT INSURANCE FOR SCHOOLS

Tournament Coverage

 (Summary)

 This coverage is included in your liability policy but only if you are having an in house (your students only) type of tournament. Larger schools usually need to demonstrate they have this coverage if having a tournament at another location other than their school. If however you want to host a tournament, a separate policy rider can be purchased to incorporate the participation of students or participants other than your own.

Understanding Our Liability Coverage Options for Events

The risk of injury during a martial arts competition is often high. Actually, many accidents are unavoidable. Therefore, proper insurance is indispensable for martial arts studios that want to avoid legal problems and huge financial losses.

Even if no one is at fault for the accident, many martial arts schools often deal with liability claims if a participant or spectator is injured during a tournament.

Fortunately, a martial arts liability insurance policy can offer a comprehensive solution if it covers competitions and other events.

What Is a Martial Arts Liability Insurance Policy?

Essentially, this type of insurance policy offers coverage to mixed martial arts and self-defense schools. It protects institutions and instructors from financial losses due to costly medical bills and property damage that results from injuries occurring on their premises or while teaching.

As such, a martial arts insurance policy should cover tournaments held within the school or studio. However, it often varies.

What Does Martial Arts Insurance Typically Cover?

Most policies cover professional liability or general liability insurance. Therefore, they protect against injuries, damages, and losses caused by students or instructors.

In other words, martial arts insurance coverage extends to bodily injuries and property-related losses, such as equipment theft.

A comprehensive liability and accident medical insurance policy for a martial arts business should cover different activities and equipment used in dojos.

The following martial arts styles are often covered by these policies:

• • • Tae Kwon Do
    • Karate
    • Tai Chi
    • Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
    • And more

Who Needs Martial Arts Insurance Coverage During an Event?

Ideally, all martial arts studios should be prepared for the unexpected. Insurance policies can ensure their business is protected against liabilities resulting from personal injuries, medical costs, and property or income losses.

As mentioned, most liability policies often include martial arts event insurance coverage. However, it covers only in-house tournaments and the school’s students.

A larger martial arts school may need to prove it has this coverage if the tournament is held at another location.

In addition, a martial arts studio that plans to host a tournament can also purchase a separate liability insurance policy to cover both its students and other participants.

Many martial arts schools also purchase insurance policies offering coverage for instructors and experts who may face liability claims if an accident occurs during a tournament.

Why Should Schools and Studios Have Martial Arts Insurance?

Martial arts are sports, skills, or combat traditions often practiced as forms of self-defense, physical development, entertainment, and competition.

In addition, martial arts training offers many benefits, such as discipline development, learning self-defense techniques, and better physical and mental health.

Both instructors and martial art business owners are proud to offer all these benefits to students. However, teaching these disciplines comes with risks, even if conducted in safe environments and in a low-contact manner.

When it comes to tournaments, it’s also important to have insurance. Competitions allow students to test and hone their skills. However, accidents always happen.

In these cases, martial arts schools must have a comprehensive policy that offers medical coverage and defense if they’re the target of a liability claim.

Purchasing a martial arts insurance policy can give you the peace of mind you need during these events, which allows you to focus on enjoying your students’ demonstrations and protecting your business if something goes wrong.
