After 12 months of renovating the centre it is now open to coach to the highest standard. Anyone wishing to train with us will receive the best training in the area. We are now focused on training towards future Commonwealth and Olympic Games together with the World Championships, World Games, and all National and International Tournaments. All instructors are CRB checked and hold the highest qualifications within martial arts. There is ample parking space, a martial art shop a small café on the premises for parents to have a bite to eat whilst waiting for their children to finish training. There are future plans to open a Fitness Studio so YOU can train whilst your child/children are training.
