Martial arts for kids 3 to 15
Kids today live on screens.
They're less active, less confident, and less prepared for the real world than any generation before them.
If your child struggles with focus, shyness, or standing up for themselves, you're not alone.

Martial arts for adults 16 and over
Want to do something active?
But most options feel boring, and there's no one to hold you accountable.
Something is missing, and another monthly membership you never use won't fix it.

What is Hybrid Martial Arts?
Four styles taught as one. Trained on their own, each one leaves a gap. Trained together, they cover everything.

Common questions
Is this suitable for complete beginners?
Yes. Most students start with no martial arts experience at all.
Your first session covers the basics at a steady pace. An instructor will guide you and help you settle in.
What age groups do you cater for?
Children train in groups aged 3 to 4, 5 to 7 and 8 to 12. Teens and adults train together from age 13.
See our schedule for current session times.
What if I just want to try it once before committing?
That is why we offer a free trial session. You can meet the instructors and step onto the mats before you decide.
It is a simple way to see if the academy feels right for you or your child.
Is it safe? I don't want to get hurt.
Like any contact sport it carries some risk. We manage it with close instruction and a steady start.
Striking is drilled on pads long before it is drilled at pace with a partner, and contact is matched to age and size.
There is a free session with your name on it
Walking in the first time is the hard part. Tell us you are coming, and we'll handle the rest.
