Yes and no. Yes in terms of being very self defence and combat orientated …and very ‘applied’. No because we have a Classical Forms element, energy work, very ancient roots and are very uncommercialised. We are known for having some of the deadliest classical and neo classical methods available, delivered with an animalistic mindset, explosive delivery and detailed knowledge about acupressure points to cause fast stoppage, damage and lethality (in the hopefully rare eventually, where we might be attacked with potentially lethal force and where the law permits). We also have a deeply embedded and committed approach to developing powerful but peaceful warriors, who have ethical values and who are not prone to misuse of the martial arts they have learned. Finally, we don’t have any political or national allegiance and are about genuine and life long self-development and benefiting the societies in which we live.

Intersting question. We have adopted a logical yet flexible approach, adopting Bruce Lee’s Jeek Kune Concepts. You have to know a bit about martial arts to get this one.

Hard training, fun, progress and no egos.

Yes – we have special training for women. The most powerful students – pound for pound – are often the females. This is because females must learn to use good technique as they dont have the luxury of using their arm muscles and poor technique to get power.

The basics of street fighting and weapons defence, correct stance, breathing, how to generate power and plenty of hard circuit training and pad work. You’ll also be introduced to Qi Gong (Chinese Energy Work).
