What drives us? A martial arts philosophy that training is the most important aspect of our practice. That means that our instructors train, our members train, and that the training is structured to present the best opportunity for each individual to learn and benefit from their martial art with due regard to their age, experience, and intended outcomes.
We're not a democracy, we're not about pleasing Sport England. We are for, that is pro- martial arts in the UK.
