Training

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

Escrima Concepts (EC) is a modern system of Escrima founded by Steve Tappin. It has grown into an international organisation with clubs across the UK and Europe. Highly effective for self defence due to its use of concepts rather than techniques, this is a Martial Art developed from real-world experience.

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 an alternative style developed by Instructor Matt Winter. Direct and practical, it is drawn from various striking arts and centred around self-defence as opposed to competition training. Strength and conditioning exercises are incorporated to improve stamina, agility, and overall fitness, while building confidence and developing a warrior mindset.
