EGKA Public Liability Policy Risk Insurance
The EGKA maintains Public Liability and Personal Accident Insurance cover for all current EGKA members. A copy of the current EGKA insurance policy certificate can be downloaded by clicking here.
Please note that you lose insurance cover the moment your EGKA membership lapses. If you train without EGKA membership, you train uninsured and you therefore become personally liable for any claims made against you should you accidentally injury another student. So always make sure your EGKA membership is up to date.
MartialGuard Instructor Insurance
It is mandatory that all EGKA recognised instructors and assistant instructors maintain their own personal instructor indemnity insurance.
Although instructors are able to choose who they insure with, many use MartialGuard (now owned by Towergate Insurance, formerly TL Risks Solutions).
