Yoshin Kempo
The art of Yoshin Kempo is a historic blend of JuJitsu and Kempo. Adults and children (8yrs+) study ancient Samurai Martial Arts skills for effective Self-Defence. Lessons lead to decreased stress, increased energy, improved focus, greater confidence, and self-discipline.



Lil' Dragons
Our Lil' Dragons classes for 4 - 7 year-old children are dedicated to improving discipline and confidence through learning simple Self-Defence skills. Lessons focus on the ability to interact with other people as well as encouraging overall fitness and improving co-ordination.
