Karate Classes
Our Karate programme follows traditional Shotokan principles with grading pathways from beginner to black belt. Sessions focus on kata forms, kumite sparring, and character development. The curriculum builds physical fitness while instilling discipline and self-defence capabilities through structured belt progression systems.
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu
BJJ instruction covers ground fighting techniques, submission holds, and positional control. Classes cater to both children and adults with separate technical drills and live sparring sessions. Our programme develops practical self-defence skills while improving cardiovascular fitness and strategic thinking through partner exercises.
HEMA Training
HEMA sessions specialise in medieval weaponry techniques using steel and synthetic training weapons. Students learn historical combat systems from European manuscripts with emphasis on safe, controlled practice environments. The programme preserves traditional fighting methods while adapting them for modern martial arts practitioners.
Competition Coaching
Our competition programme prepares athletes for tournament success through advanced technical instruction and sparring practice. Coaches develop custom training plans focusing on competition rules, match strategies, and physical conditioning. Regular grading assessments ensure technical proficiency meets competitive standards across multiple martial arts disciplines.
First Aid Services
Professional first aid provision for events includes qualified medics and ambulance support. Services range from basic first aiders to paramedic-level care with medical equipment including defibrillators and oxygen supplies. Risk assessments determine appropriate staffing levels following HSE guidelines for event safety compliance.
