About the Martial Arts School RW
Our school was founded by Ross Whitby in 1990 in Reading, Berkshire England. With an emphasis on strong basics, pressure testing techniques and sparring, Si Jo Ross Whitby has developed a strong sense of etiquette, loyalty and mutual respect that carries through to each instructor and student.
Since 1990 our club has grown from strength to strength and now we have instructors in each of the three styles with Si Jo Ross acting as Chief Instructor. The techniques have been pressure tested from the years of front line security work Ross has done but along with proven and effective techniques, we have developed a strong sense of social responsibility in the practice and teaching of our martial arts.
The club is accredited by BIKMA (British and International Kick Boxing and Martial Arts Association) which has over 100 clubs in the association. BIKMA offer local, regional, and international competitions
