Martial Arts

Escrima, also known as Arnis or Kali, is a Martial Art originating from the Philippines that utilises both weaponry and unarmed training. 

Escrima Concepts is a modern system of Escrima founded by Steve Tappin which has grown into an international organisation with clubs across the UK and Europe. It is a highly effective method of self defence due to its use of concepts rather than specific techniques, meaning that it is simple to learn and apply. 

Weapons are used as training tools because they improve coordination and help develop an understanding of how they work. Essentially, the body mechanics we develop from training with weapons improve our ability to protect ourselves against them. With weapon attacks sadly becoming more common, learning weapons defence is a must.

Kickboxing is a dynamic martial art known for its effective striking as well as it's physical and mental benefits, such as increased fitness, balance, coordination and focus. 

IMPACT Kickboxing is a complete programme, drawn from various striking arts and centred around self-defence as opposed to competition training. Pad work and sparring drills help students to develop essential body mechanics, while strength and conditioning exercises improve overall fitness and shape a warrior mindset. 

We run a full curriculum for kids and adults that has been certified by the British Martial Arts & Boxing Association (BMABA). No previous experience is required and regardless of your fitness level, this class will help you develop functional skills and get into great shape. The kids side of the programme also emphasises character development such as as moral behaviour, discipline, confidence and fortitude.
