Martial arts cover a wide range of disciplines that focus on technique, control, discipline and structured movement. They are practised worldwide for fitness, skill development and organised competition, often within supervised training environments.
ActivitySure can cover martial arts when you are taking part abroad at an amateur level, including organised training sessions and competitions, provided the activity meets the policy conditions. While styles and techniques vary, many martial arts involve physical contact and repetitive movement, making suitable travel insurance an important part of your plans.

Destination Insight
Where is popular for martial arts?
Martial arts training trips are popular in countries such as Japan, Thailand and Brazil, where travellers attend structured camps, academies and specialist training centres linked to traditional and modern disciplines.
Across Europe and North America, martial arts are commonly practised in established dojos and training facilities that host international seminars, grading courses and organised amateur events.
Here's why martial arts travel insurance matters:
Martial arts training can involve sparring, throws, strikes or grappling, depending on the discipline. These activities may lead to bruising, sprains or joint injuries, even when sessions are well supervised. If medical treatment is required while abroad, or if you are unable to continue your trip as planned, appropriate travel insurance can help provide financial protection.
With ActivitySure travel insurance, cover may include:
Helpful travel tips
- Use correct technique and controlled movements to reduce strain on joints.
- Train on suitable surfaces designed for martial arts practice.
- Stop immediately and seek guidance if you feel pain or discomfort.
- Always follow the instructions of your instructor, referee or organiser.
- Wear appropriate safety equipment recommended for your discipline and level.
