Certified instructors
Every Firebird Martial Arts instructor holds BMABA instructor certification, confirming their coaching standards, grading knowledge and teaching ability within a nationally recognised martial arts association.
Certification
Certified with BMABA
Firebird Martial Arts is certified with the British Martial Arts & Boxing Association (BMABA) — one of the UK's leading martial arts associations. It's the framework behind every class we run: certified instructors, proper insurance, DBS checks and up-to-date safeguarding training.
Fully insured
BMABA certification means our instructors and locations are covered by professional martial arts insurance, so students can train with complete peace of mind.
DBS checked
All instructors hold enhanced DBS checks through BMABA's vetting process — an important safeguarding standard for anyone working with juniors and teens.
Safeguarding & first aid
BMABA requires instructors to stay current with safeguarding training and first aid qualifications, keeping every session safe as well as challenging.
What this means for you
- You're learning under instructors whose credentials are held to a national standard — not just a local one
- Safeguarding is built in, with DBS-checked and safeguarding-trained coaches at every location
- Every venue operates with full martial arts insurance and first-aid-ready instructors
