Insurance that gets jiu jitsu. Gi or no-gi, adult classes and kids' programs, from $56/mo.
Jiu jitsu insurance is gym insurance for a BJJ academy: your classes, coaches, open mat, kids' program and mats. Rolling, drilling and submissions are covered. A typical martial arts gym we insure pays about $110 a month, and liability alone starts at $56/mo.
A lot of legacy carriers won't write a grappling gym at all. Specialty programs will write one, but they often price every class like a full-contact competition.
A jiu jitsu policy starts with general liability and professional liability. You can add property and business income.
If a student or visitor is hurt at your academy and blames you, general liability pays for your legal defense and any settlement. General liability comes with $1M per occurrence and $3M aggregate for the year. Landlords ask to see general liability before you sign a lease.
Learn more →Professional liability covers a student's claim that the way your coach taught a submission or a takedown caused their injury.
Learn more →Business personal property covers your mats, grappling dummies, gi rack, mirrors and build-out at replacement cost if a fire or a burst pipe ruins them. Property coverage is optional, and you can add it to your quote.
Learn more →Abuse and molestation coverage comes on every policy at $300,000 per person. The aggregate limit depends on your state.
If a fire shuts the academy for a few weeks, business income replaces the dues you lose while you rebuild. Business income comes with your policy when you add property coverage.
