What makes our Judo insurance different?
Since Judo is a martial art, injuries are likely to happen. Due to the risks, we’ve designed a specialist policy which protects you whilst training and competing in the UK or abroad.
If you are planning a trip away, our Sports Travel Insurance policy will not only cover you for the standard travel essentials such as flight delays, cancellations and lost baggage but also protects you should you get injured whilst doing Judo and need medical attention.
For those training in the UK, our Sports Accident Insurance will be better suited providing cover for various incidents such as broken bones, physiotherapy costs and personal liability.
Before you hit the training mat, ensure you have the right insurance policy for your needs.
