Our instructors incorporate elements of Judo, Boxing, Muay Thai, Aikido, Filipino Martial Arts and Jeet Kune Do, gained from decades of experience. Classes are suitable for all ages(16 and over) abilities. Our students include both total beginners and experienced martial artists. If you have any questions about our classes, how we train, or if you have worries about if martial arts is for you then don't hesitate to get in touch. Prospective students are welcome to pop down to a class any time. Alternatively, reach out via Facebook or Instagram. We are a non-profit club so session prices are kept reasonable to be available to all.



Mind, body and spirit.



Mind



Our club cultivates a mindset that we should be constantly learning. We never discourage students from training in other classes; many of our students do. All of our instructrors train in various styles to gain greater understanding. We always welcome questions and nurture intrigue; if we don't know the answer then we know what to study!



Body



All of our instructors train vigorously to ensure that our teaching truly works. We learn by doing and we teach by example, if we can't make a technique work then we can't expect to be able to teach it. Conversely, everyone is different and we are well versed in tailoring techniques to meet the abilities of anyone who walks into our classes. Martial arts are for everyone, regardless of age, gender, or disability. No matter your ability, fitness level or experience, our aim through training is to improve on where you started.



Spirit



There are many ways of defining this but to us this is attitude, it is emotion and it is mental wellbeing. We want every student to leave a class feeling better than when they entered. We try to cultivate an environment where everyone feels safe and at home. We actively discourage any form of bullying or toxic attitudes and strive for a club where members are comfortable enough to discuss any issues they may have as this is the only way we grow emotionally and we learn best in an open culture of respect and understanding.



Passion



Many clubs, activities and organisations speak about 'mind, body and spirit and it is easy to do so but what keeps a club going is passion'. We love what we teach and we love to train and that is what keeps our club going week after week, year after year.

We are a non-profit club and we always have been, although we run charity events and strive to raise funds for good causes the club has always been run for love alone and decades later none of us take home a penny. We train because it is what we love to do and we want to share that passion with others.
