Martial Arts Academy Insurance

Commercial General Liability Insurance

It’s your turtle stance, the first and most crucial defensive pose. It covers you of any potential lawsuit thrown at you due to any injury or property damage suffered by someone else while in your Martial Arts Academy. Let’s say a kid suffers an injury while practicing and their parents sue you. Your insurance company will provide an attorney to defend you. Some other forms of Liability included are:

Legal Liability to Participants it’s also added to protect you from any claim made by a student while in a tournament or even an exhibition. Professional Liability in case a customer claims you didn’t teach a punch or kick or grapple hold adequately thus prompting the injury.

Personal and Advertising Injury is another nitch policy to have as it covers you for any advertising injury such as slander or copyright infringement, so if you named your Martial Arts Academy after your favorite karate movie and the company that owns that movie’s rights get word of it and decides to sue you for it, you have a cover.

Medical Payment Insurance

Another significant policy, after all almost everyone who practices a sport gets injured at some point in their career. Even more so when it comes to a Martial Art Academy, it covers medical bills of injuries suffered at your academy or dojo. The best part of it is that it applies no matter who is legally responsible for the accident. So it benefits both students and instructors and will surely be something that parents will be grateful.

Commercial Property Insurance

You probably have some equipment that you need to cover. From mats to punching bags, everything is valuable and should be insured. Commercial Property Insurance covers your equipment in case of:

• Fire.
• Vandalism.
• Theft.
• Water damage.
• Wind/hail.

If you are the owner of the building, it would be wise also to purchase a Commercial Building Insurance to protect your structure against any damage like the ones mentioned before.

Sexual Abuse or Molestation

Although this one is not required, it’s never bad to have it, especially if you have other instructors working for you.

Workers Compensation

It’s a law that every employee must have Workers Compensation insurance, and your instructors are not the exception. You never know the physical toll that an instructor may have endured before going to work to your academy, and it may just be that during one of his teachings he pops a bone or rips a muscle. Alternatively, maybe breaks a thumb or his hand — good thing he has Workers Compensation thanks to you.

Commercial Auto Insurance

Let’s say that you use your car to drive students to tournaments or to transport any equipment that you bring to your Martial Arts Academy. In case of an accident, while driving for business purposes, this policy will cover your vehicle, more so any equipment in it.

Business Income Coverage

It’s incredible how many insurance companies left this coverage out when making an insurance policy. In case you have to close your Martial Arts Academy temporarily due to some allegations made against you or because you have to remodel or rebuild some of it, this coverage will keep your payroll checked, your rent and any other reasonable expenses. It covers your income or profit loss during these covered events.
