Membership Application – General Information
The BAB is keen to extend the opportunity for all organisations practicing aikido, regardless of style, to join them. However, as the National Governing Body it is their responsibility to ensure that standards are maintained and that those applying are able to support the policies and criteria laid down by the Board.
Full information is contained within the Board’s Constitution, which can be viewed on the website www.bab.org.uk, but your attention is drawn to the following specific requirements:-
Please read the Application Guidance before clicking on the button.
● Practicing a style of Aikido recognised by the Board (see Note: 1 below)
● Suitably qualified Instructors ( Non BAB Instructors will be required to obtain BAB coach Level 1 within the probationary period.)

● A minimum of 5 members is required for membership of the BAB..
● It is a condition of membership that all Members adopt the BAB Child Protection Policy, a copy of which can also be found on the Board’s website.
Note: 1 Although Aiki-Jutsu organisations were previously not seen as eligible to join the BAB, We are however aware that there are many like minded groups whose, style, ethos and often grading syllabus has evolved over the years and fits well with our Aikido Family. When such cases arise the Membership Officer will give advise and guidance on whether it might be more appropriate to define themselves as an Aikido Organisation.
