Most people have a basic understanding of the term 'martial arts' but it may come as a surprise to learn that there are many different training systems and several specific techniques used, dependant upon the followings of each 'master'.

To assist those new to this subject, we have created an information area giving an insight into the popular martial arts and their origins. This also includes notes on the use of weapons, the disciplines we teach, the masters who have influenced those disciplines, and how they were popularised in the western world. Our aim is to enable individuals considering the study of a discipline to make a more informed choice about a technique or style that would best suit their particular needs. Over the coming months, additional information will be made available, providing a useful repository for both the novice and enthusiast alike.
