Why do I need martial arts insurance?
Martial arts studios and schools have important assets to protect: students, instructors, property, reputation, finances and more. Students learn techniques to protect their health and well-being, and facility owners must practice the same discipline in protecting the business’s assets. Even when everything is run with precise attention to detail and the utmost commitment to safety, unexpected accidents and injuries can happen. Martial arts facilities insurance protects against costly claims that would cause severe financial damage in the absence of insurance. In addition, for businesses that rent or lease space, the landlord is almost certain to require the martial arts studio to carry liability insurance.

What are some examples of when martial arts facilities insurance would be used?
These are just a few examples where martial arts facilities insurance will come to the studio’s defense and protect its valuable assets and ability to continue operating.
Scenario 1: A student is injured during class when he is unintentionally kicked in the head by another student. The student does not return to subsequent classes and the next time the studio hears from the family, it is in the form of a demand letter from a personal injury attorney. The letter says the studio failed to protect the student and requests significant payment for medical treatment, pain and suffering. It indicates the student has suffered measurable cognitive deficits and behavior disorders that did not exist previously. The demand letter argues his quality of life and future earnings have been negatively impacted. The studio immediately shares the letter with American Specialty who retains an attorney to defend the studio against the allegations.
Scenario 2: A father stays at the studio to observe his daughter during class. The studio has provided a small seating area with folding chairs for parents who prefer to stay and observe. Unfortunately, when the father goes to sit in the chair, it has not been fully opened and buckles under him. He hits the floor and sustains an injury to his wrist that makes it impossible to perform his duties at work for several months. The father hires an attorney to represent him in trying to secure payment from the studio for his medical bills, physical therapy and time off work. American Specialty appoints defense counsel to defend against the demand as well as pay any judgment for which the studio is held responsible.
