Kickboxing really is a 'user-friendly' martial art. Kicks and punches are combined with blocks to culminate in a style that is equally effective on the street as it is in a ring. A far more interesting way of getting fit, strong and flexible.
Our style also uses techniques taken from Muay Thai such as elbows and knees; and also Jiu Jitsu locks and throws.
Street defence techniques are also taught as part of the Kickboxing syllabus. Our self-defence techniques have been tried and tested by men, women and children alike to make sure they actually work when needed. Size and strength becomes irrelevant and technique takes over
Kung Fu can be described as the 'thinking-man's' martial art. Patterns of movements based on animal fighting styles are taught to deal with multiple attacks from all directions.
This is combined with a form of Chinese kickboxing called San Shou to make this a traditional martial art with modern day presence.
As well as all this, an integral part of our Kung Fu is Chi Nai which is a self-defence based style of joint manipulation, and also Weapons training including Nunckuca, Staff, Escrima and Knife defences.
MMA - Shoot Jitsu Submission Grappling
MMA has enjoyed much popularity in recent years thanks to UFC and alike, however, it is one of the oldest fighting arts known to man.
As the name suggests MMA or Mixed Martial Arts combines a range of stand-up and ground fighting techniques to make an elite combat sport.
An incredibly exciting way of getting fit and conditioning the body to peak physical fitness.
Junior Training – See a Positive change in children
At The Martial Arts School, we teach adults and children differently as we recognise the different learning and development needs of these groups.
All children will begin to be assessed in class and will first achieve 4 junior belt levels before beginning formal assessment. This is to ensure children achieve the most they can in their own time and are give encouragement and recognition along the way.
Just like the adults children can choose between Dragons (Junior Kung Fu) and Ninjas (Junior Kickboxing) but the MMA is not taught to under 18's due to the physical exertion this martial art requires.
