We make sure that every class we teach is new varied and exciting. We avoid teaching the same class each week, as you may see in aerobics for example, the same class, every time, is not only boring for you, but it is also boring to teach. From our wealth of martial arts knowledge we can offer something different every time.
Personal training sessions available on request.

I've been attending the ladies class for two years now, it's a great environment and a really nice group of women. Since starting the class my fitness level has improved immensely and there's nothing like hitting pads to get rid of stress! The instructor is fantastic, he really knows what he's doing and is welcoming and supportive. I wouldn't be without it now.
The instructors Ceri & Paul run a great, varied, fun class with lots of good instruction, especially to get you through grading and help and encouragement if you also want to compete in tournaments.
Massive shout out to the students that travelled to Clifton yesterday for the interclub tournament. Both Imogen and Arthur competed in semi contact and light continuous categories Imogen coming away with gold and Arthur narrowly missing out on some very close fights.
It takes huge courage to step on the mats and put your skills to the test and these guys did Wirksworth proud. 🥊🥊
