Why Martial Arts Is Great for Adults
Martial arts training offers more than just a workout — it’s a full-body and mind experience that supports long-term health and confidence.
✅ Health & Fitness Benefits
Martial arts is one of the few forms of exercise that engages every major muscle group – legs, back, core, arms, and shoulders – while also improving cardiovascular health and endurance.
Boosts energy and stamina
Enhances flexibility and posture
Burns calories and reduces body fat
Strengthens core muscles and improves balance
🧠 According to the NHS, regular physical activity can reduce your risk of major illnesses — including heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and some cancers — by as much as 50%, while lowering the risk of early death by 30% (NHS Live Well).
🛡️ Real-World Self-Defence
Our adult classes focus heavily on practical self-defence, not just forms or routines. Learn how to handle realistic situations such as:
Drunken altercations or verbal threats
Grabs, punches, and close-range attacks
Knife or weapon scenarios
Multiple attacker awareness
Taught by experienced instructors with decades of training, our programme uses structured techniques from karate and Ju-Jitsu, giving you the confidence to feel safer and more in control wherever you go.

Boosts self-esteem and confidence
Improves focus and clarity
Helps reduce anxiety and depression symptoms
Supports better sleep and emotional regulation
