***Over 120 years Combined Martial Arts Experience & Excellence***<\/em><\/p>\n

The club is run on a voluntary basis. We have male and female instructors whose ongoing training is through courses they attend.<\/p>\n

Our Instructors carry professional indemnity insurance and CRB clearance.<\/p>\n

Senior grades wishing to become involved can help out in the session under the instructor\u2019s watchful eye but to become trained instructors they need to go through a similar course structure.<\/p>\n

No-one is able to become a registered instructor until they attain senior black belt status or age 18+, as approved by the Chief Instructor.<\/p>\n
