First Aid for Combat Sports
This specialist course builds on core first aid training with a focus on injuries common in combat sports. In addition to essential skills like CPR, choking response, and the recovery position, we cover how to manage:
Knockouts and head injuries
Hand and wrist injuries – common in striking sports like boxing and kendo
Neck and shoulder injuries – more frequent in grappling sports such as judo
Dislocations – affecting shoulders, elbows, knees, and fingers
Lower limb injuries – including overuse and impact-related strains to hips and knees
Led by NHS-trained professionals, this course is ideal for coaches, fighters, and support teams looking to respond confidently to sport-specific injuries.
