Practical Skills for Your Job
You face real situations at work, often with people who are agitated, affected or armed. Our training is built around practical self defence, not sport, so it carries over to the job:
- Control and restraint: locks, holds and takedowns from traditional martial arts to control a person without needing to hurt them.
- Knife and weapon defence: our knife defence training covers knives, needles, bottles and other weapons.
- Movement and escapes: getting out of grabs and holds, and moving so you are harder to hit.
- Ground skills: what to do if a struggle goes to the ground, with BJJ available as well.
- Fitness and stress relief: Fitness Kickboxing for conditioning and to switch off after a shift.
Great family friendly dojo. Very unique martial arts if you’re interested in practical defence techniques - boxing is great for fitness also.

Amazing culture here and a very practical martial art. I've done martial arts for over 20 years and have struggled to find a club that balances humour, practicality, realistic techniques and education as well as this place.
