At Carl Jackson Martial Arts, we believe great martial arts instruction should be supported by equally high standards of safety, professionalism, governance, and student welfare. Our accreditations demonstrate our commitment to providing a trusted environment for every student and family.
BMABA Gold Regulation Ready Status
We are proud to have been awarded Gold Regulation Ready Status by the British Martial Arts & Boxing Association (BMABA).
Regulation Ready holds clubs to the highest standards of governance, combining robust compliance checks, clearly defined leadership roles, and comprehensive safeguarding and policy oversight. This award demonstrates that the club has met or exceeded nationally recognised expectations across safety, transparency, and operational integrity — ensuring a trusted environment for students, parents, and the wider community
For our members, this means confidence that the club operates to recognised national standards and places student welfare at the heart of everything we do.
What This Means For Our Members
Safeguarding
All safeguarding procedures, reporting pathways and welfare processes are regularly reviewed and maintained to support a safe training environment.
Qualified & Insured Instruction
All instructors maintain appropriate qualifications, insurance, first aid certification and ongoing professional development.
Clear Policies & Procedures
The club maintains documented policies covering safeguarding, health and safety, equality, conduct, data protection and other key operational areas.
Accountability & Transparency
Defined leadership responsibilities and governance structures help ensure the club operates professionally and responsibly.
BMABA Club Colours Award
Alongside Regulation Ready Gold Status, CJMA has also been recognised through the BMABA Club Colours Award programme.
This recognition reflects our commitment to continuous improvement and our dedication to delivering high-quality martial arts instruction within a safe, welcoming and professionally managed environment.
While awards and accreditations are important, our primary focus remains unchanged: helping students develop confidence, resilience, fitness, self-protection skills and personal growth through martial arts training.
Our Commitment
Accreditations provide independent recognition of standards already embedded within the club, but they are only one part of the picture.
Every class, every interaction, and every decision should reflect the values that underpin Carl Jackson Martial Arts:
- Respect
- Humility
- Curiosity
- Patience
Combined with a welcoming, inclusive and ego-free training culture, these values help create an environment where students of all ages can train safely, progress confidently, and enjoy the journey.
