Training and engagement
Martial arts and self-defence at work
MMAKF runs self-defence, women’s safety and martial arts programmes for companies, at the workplace or at a federation centre.
What companies ask MMAKF for
Most corporate engagements are one of three shapes: a short self-defence course, a continuing martial arts class as part of a wellbeing programme, or a one-off workshop tied to an event or an awareness week. They are different pieces of work and are configured separately.
- Self-defence — practical, short-format, no grading requirement
- Women’s safety — taught as its own programme, and where requested by a female instructor
- Continuing martial arts — a regular class, optionally on the graded syllabus
- Workshops and seminars — single sessions, including at offsites and annual events
- Online and hybrid delivery — for distributed teams
What MMAKF does not claim
The federation teaches karate and self-defence. It does not present training as a health intervention, a stress-reduction programme or a measure that will change any workplace metric. If your HR team needs outcomes evidence for a wellbeing budget, MMAKF can tell you exactly what is delivered and what attendance was — it will not supply claims it cannot support.
Practicalities
Sessions need a clear floor and space to move. A cafeteria after hours, a training room with the tables out, or a covered parking level all work. MMAKF brings what the session needs; where mats are required and you have none, that is a line on the quotation rather than an obstacle.
What MMAKF needs from you
None of this has to be settled before you apply. It is what the conversation will be about, and knowing it in advance makes that conversation shorter.
- A room with clear floor space, or a nearby venue
- A named contact in HR or administration
- Expected participant numbers, and whether attendance is voluntary
- Your preferred time of day — it materially affects instructor availability
From enquiry to first session
What happens after you apply.
-
You apply
The form asks what you need, how many people, how often, and where. It saves as you go, so you can leave it and come back.
-
MMAKF reviews it
A training administrator reads the requirements and comes back to you if anything is unclear. You are given a reference and a page that shows where the application has got to.
-
The programme is designed
What is taught, to whom, in what batches, at what frequency, with what assessment. This is a conversation, not a menu.
-
A quotation is issued
One fee, calculated from the configuration under the federation’s published framework, itemised so you can see how it was arrived at.
-
You approve, and an agreement is signed
The quotation you approved is the one the agreement is written against, kept as a version that cannot change afterwards.
-
Instructors are assigned and the calendar is set
MMAKF matches instructors on qualification, location and availability. You see who is coming and when, and are told if anything moves.
-
Delivery, attendance and reporting
Sessions are recorded as they happen. Attendance, progress and any assessments appear in your portal rather than arriving as a spreadsheet at the end.
MMAKF has not published a standard response time, so no stage above carries one. You are given a reference and a page that shows where your application has actually got to, rather than a promise about when it will move.
