Martial
Arts Styles Available
The
martial arts of the world break down into 2 broad types:
armed and unarmed. Armed martial arts comprise such styles
as; archery, fencing both eastern and western, kobudo
(Japanese study of ancient weapons) and obviously firearms.
The Edwards system teach defence against weapons used
in stabbing, cutting and striking. Many weapon based systems
are impracticable for self defence though they are still
popular and some are useful for keeping fit.

Unarmed combat in the martial arts is by far the most
popular and itself breaks down in to 3 broad divisions:
striking styles which comprise kicking and punching, wrestling
styles and styles which comprise both striking and wrestling.
Striking Styles
These styles come from around the world though mainly
from the East. Styles such as: Boxing originally from
Britain in its modern form or Karate from Japan, Kung
Fu (there are 100’s of kung fu styles some of which
combine all 3 elements) from China, Tae Kwon Do from Korea,
Muay Thai from Thailand and Savate from France. In recent
years kickboxing has emerged from both Europe and the
US and has overtaken many of the more traditional styles.
Wrestling Styles
Wrestling (or grappling styles) come from all over the
world too and include: Greco Roman, Freestyle, Catch wrestling,
and the like. Then there is Judo, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu,
Aikido and of course Japanese Sumo. Sambo from Russia,
Indian Wrestling, and Turkish plus Lutte from around France
and Italy.

MMA (Mixed Martial Arts)
Otherwise known as Vale Tudo. A Portugese term meaning
'no rules' Vale Tudo combines striking, throws and submissions.
Many of the techniques come from Brazilian Ju jitsu with
'Dirty Boxing' added. It builds terrific body strength
and cardio fitness.
Freestyle Karate & Kung Fu
Freestyle is a points competition fighting system which
developed in the eighties from the old 'Ippon kumite'
it combines techniques from Karate and Kung Fu to produce
a lightning fast competition method. Although primarily
a competition system there are several street defence
crossovers such as 'speed' which are invaluable. It is
a safe and exciting sport which builds lightning fast
reflexes.
Street Judo
Street Judo is a mixture of Kickboxing and Judo and its
the discipline that teaches the close quarter grappling
with strikes and kicks. The aim is to put your opponent
on the floor. It builds a high level of close quarter
skill ideal for competition and street defence.
Nunchaku
Nunchaku is the weapon made famous by Bruce Lee. Used
in both Japanese and Chinese martial arts it is great
for developing 'hand-eye' coordination. Its brilliant
to watch and even better to practice yourself. Another
fun but practical discipline that our Masters and Black
Belt Leadership students list as a firm favorite.
Bo Staff
The Bo staff is a 6ft pole and is based on the Japanese
kobudo method combined with the western quarter staff.
It is invaluable for building and understanding balance
and the similarities between armed and unarmed combat
systems. Children use the Jo staff which is 4ft long instead
of 6. As an art form it has an elegant style but with
a deadly kick to it!
Stab Program
Stab Program is our knife defence system and combines
elements of Krav Maga, Aikido, Ju Jitsu, Judo and Kickboxing
to provide a practical street defence system against bladed
weapons. On a lighter side it brings a number of the disciplines
together in a practical way that is great fun.
Escrima
The Philipino short stick fighting system. Using sticks
usually between 26-28 inches long it is a very practical
close range weapon system that has close similarities
with western Boxing. Its a fast and exciting system that
builds fitness as well as superb 'hand-eye' coordination,
again one of our firm favorites with our Black belt Leadership
students.

Boxing
One of the world's most successful martial arts from which
the most effective styles draw their punching techniques.
A very specialist and very realistic system even though
it has no kicks or grappling it is still difficult to
beat.
