Protect Your Legacy:
The "Insurance Fundamentals" Masterclass is Now FREE for MAA Members
As a club owner, your biggest threat isn't a rival school or a drop in memberships, it’s an insurance claim you didn't see coming or a policy gap you didn't know existed.
For over 30 years, I’ve seen great clubs forced to close because of simple paperwork errors or a misunderstanding of their policy. I’m tired of seeing that happen.
That’s why I’m making my Martial Arts Insurance Fundamentals Course
(normally $295) completely FREE for all Martial Arts Australia members.
Why take this course?
Insurance isn't just a certificate; it’s a legal contract with strict obligations. This course pulls back the curtain on the "boring stuff" that actually saves your business when things go wrong.
What you will master:
- The Risk Management Mindset: How to drastically reduce the chance of a claim before it happens.
- The "Gap" Trap: Why letting your policy lapse for even a few days can leave you personally liable for life-changing sums.
- Disclosure & Obligations: What you must tell your broker to ensure your cover is actually valid when you need it.
- The Secret Contract: Understanding that your policy is a confidential agreement and how to handle it professionally.
- Incident Response: Exactly what to do (and what not to say) the moment an injury occurs on your mats.
- Financial Health: The hidden dangers of unpaid invoices and restarting policies weeks later.
Stop Guessing. Start Protecting.
A standard broker won't explain these nuances to you. They sell you a policy; MAAIS will assist you and MAA will provide you with the expertise via this course, to ensure you know how to manage it.
This isn't just a course; it’s professional development for the modern school owner. It’s about moving from "hoping I'm covered" to "knowing I'm protected."
