There are now a number of general insurance products sold through online platforms that don't cover you for what you do, for example sparring. The drop down box may include martial arts but what they don't inform you that partner drills / sparring is not covered. This type of general business insurance is vary limited in the types of activities it covers with martial arts schools. It is your responsibility to ask the right questions and read the documents to make sure you are fully covered, not when the claim comes in.

There is no restriction on what athletes bring to the ring / cage as they may come from a Taekwondo / Kung Fu background and simply add grappling if they think that will work for them. What is not mentioned is around 90% of people training in MMA are doing it for the fitness / self defence aspect rather than getting for the ring / cage. It is seen as a superb way of getting super fit for everyone with an especially high rate of corporate professionals participating.

It would be safe to say at the moment the higher risk styles are on probation in the eyes of the Insurers so they need to keep their classes safe, train staff / instructors appropriately to follow the right teaching methods Mixed Martial Arts MMA is the topic of the decade we could say as it is making a massive impact on the industry with views on both sides of the fence, (good and bad for the industry).
