Through our comprehensive syllabus and programs students are taught empty hand techniques, locks and holds, weapons, Kata, general health and fitness, safety & awareness, discipline and more. Students will be challenged both physically and mentally to reach their full potential in their training, whilst being supported by our instructors in every way.
