Common Mistakes That Raise the Insurance Cost for Martial Arts Schools

Underestimating Risk Exposures

Failing to accurately report your studio’s operations, class types, or student volumes can result in higher premiums or coverage gaps. Insurers rely on complete and accurate information to assess risk.


Neglecting Safety Protocols

Insufficient safety measures, such as lack of mats, improperly trained instructors, or inadequate supervision, can increase the likelihood of claims. Strong risk management practices often lead to more favourable pricing.


Ignoring Claims History

Previous claims or accidents can significantly impact premiums. Not addressing past claims or failing to implement corrective measures signals higher risk to insurers.


Overlooking Coverage Gaps

Relying solely on general liability insurance without including professional liability, property coverage, or workers’ compensation can lead to under-insurance and costly out-of-pocket expenses after an incident.


Not Reviewing Policies Regularly

As your school grows, outdated policies may not reflect current operations or student volumes. Regular reviews ensure coverage aligns with your current risk profile and avoids unnecessary cost increases.
