Why do you need Taekwondo instructor insurance?
Taekwondo Insurance protects qualified professionals from claims that could arise from risks and incidents whether this be an instructed session, competition or other general activities.
You can be assured you are operating responsibly, fulfilling safety obligations to your clients and members. Claims can be costly if they arise and damage your reputation if not handled appropriately. Focus on providing your customers with the best possible service, knowing you’re prepared if things go wrong.
These listed scenarios can provide examples of why suitable insurance is so important.
Cover against claims from public injury.
If someone were to trip over a mat you had placed on the floor, injured themselves and blamed you or if you accidentally damage a clients’ property such as a phone, you can claim to repair or replace it.
Having public liability protects you against these incidents such as slip-and-fall accidents, injuries caused by equipment and damage to belongings during a training session.
Accusations of negligence following a client injury.
Whilst taking part in a taekwondo class, for instance, a claim may be brought against you as a taekwondo instructor because of an instruction you’ve given. A client may suffer an injury from an exercise instruction and consider it to be your fault.
Professional Indemnity Insurance will cover legal costs and damages if a client decides to bring a claim against you for the incident.
A martial arts club requires public liability for contracted instructors
If you are contracted by a martial arts club or fitness centre to provide taekwondo training services. Having suitable public liability cover will likely be a minimum requirement.
Avoid expensive equipment losses.
A client may walk off with equipment you own or if you store a stock of mats, they might become damaged in storage.
Taekwondo equipment cover can avoid costly replacements in case your equipment is damaged or stolen.
Financial protection from workplace injuries.
If an accident results in an injury to yourself and you need to take some time off work. Avoid loss of earnings.
Personal accident cover can provide you with financial support if you suffer an injury or accident whilst providing your service.
Our experts explain why...
“Traditionally Personal Trainers provide fitness instruction one to one and occasionally in small groups, this has evolved over years to include not just recognised fitness-based exercise but also a number of activities, sports and martial arts-based fitness. We have adapted our product offering to recognise this demand, so we can make sure, whatever you are offering to your customers, we can provide you financial protection. Our insurance offering doesn’t just cover your Public Liability concerns but also those that might come from suggested negligent advice and tuition, through our Professional Indemnity extension, which we offer at no additional charge.”

Frequently
Asked Questions
Are our instructors insured under your Martial Arts Club & Associations Insurance?
If your instructors are members of your club and/or association and only provide instruction to your members, within the remit of your club and/or association, you will not require separate instructor insurance for your instructors, they will be included without specifying them on your policy of insurance.
Does your policy of insurance cover our club or association for organising events, competitions and tournaments?
We understand that as a club and more so an association, you are involved in arranging events for members to display their capabilities in their chosen martial arts. Our policy product will cover you for organising events on the basis that participants are members of your club and/or association, for those participants who are not members of your club and/or association, they need to be members of a club and/or association that have their own insurance. Also, events must not be larger than 500 visitors per event, including participants and spectators.

Personal Accident cover provides a benefit (subject to the policy terms) if a member is injured whilst participating in Martial Art discipline regardless of negligence.
