    Not sure myself but my BJJ instructor runs an MMA school, check out his site www.BTTUK.co.uk

    He may be able to help you out. Im sure he's registered on here aswell.

    there's the GAA (Grappling Arts Association) which is a new regulatory body which governs Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and No Gi Grappling. I think they've got their own website but you can get more info on www.bjj.eu.com

    Hope this helps.

    Problem is if you hold a class, do it unofficially and someone breaks their arm, etc, etc. They can do you for a shit load of money... I look back through the year I have been kickboxing / doing MMA and I have seen 2 people break their arms, 3 people break their nose, 1 person break their hand and 1 person break their foot... So really you need to sort out consent forms or insurence...

    If i broke my arm in the cage, i would say i did it on a pot-hole or on a park swing and claim cash for it!

    Just so everyone knows, i'm not starting up my own MMA club.

    This question was just helping me on coursework for college.

    sorry for any confusion.
