This incorporates an integrated arts syllabus which includes and combines the arts of the late great Bruce Lee (Jun Fan Martial Arts) with the Filipino martial Arts, Western Kickboxing, traditional Muay Thai, and Mixed Martial Arts Ju Jutsu. With our cross training and ‘JKD concepts’ approach to martial arts we aim and do produce well rounded and effective martial artists competent in all ranges of combat and capable of reacting to whatever they face in terms of self defence.
We also have personal one-to-one training in Martial Arts and Fitness and also have part time and full time certified instructor training programmes running at our Academy.
The Academy’s Mission
Our Mission is to develop our students into well conditioned Black Belt Leaders of Life and Self Defence.
We aim to help our martial arts students become more successful in life by practicing in martial arts, and to always influence a positive attitude towards training, growth and change in life inside and outside of the martial arts academy.
In order to achieve this we help our students develop a way of thinking that guides them toward specific goals for self improvement, and to develop a determined spirit and attitude to prevail over any obstacles life may throw at them and to become a successful achiever. The way that we achieve this is by following our student creed which helps develop positive growth as both a martial artist and good human being.
