Licence Insurance Cover
BWF Membership, Registration & Insurance includes Individual, Public Liability & Person to Person Liability Insurance £10m. If you applied as an ‘Instructor’, this includes Instructor Liability Insurance (where applicable) for £10m.
Cover is for all Wado Karate related activities organised within the UK membership of the British Wado Federation. Cover does not include training elsewhere and does not allow the use of metal-bladed weapons.
Optional Licence Office Facilities
It is forbidden, under certain International Sport Karate Regulations, to possess a licence with another karate authority. This does not restrict you from training in other karate clubs or styles (if insured by them to do so); however, if you regularly compete, this must be your only active Karate Licence/Grade Record Book.
Please check your BWF Affiliation Status before proceeding with this facility; this option is only available to Affiliated British Wado Federation ‘Associate Memberships’.
