Teaching Hull Since 2006

Trusted by local families and beginners for two decades.

Zero-Ego Environment

A supportive, friendly academy, not an intimidating fight gym.

Led By Graham

Our founder and head coach, training in martial arts since the 1990s.

Nervous About The First Class?

If your child is shy or doesn't want to join in, it's never a problem. Coaches are used to easing hesitant children in gently. We've had plenty who stood and watched their entire first session, then couldn't wait to get back on the mats the following week.

You don't have to leave them, either. Our seating area looks straight onto the mats, so you can sit down and watch the whole class, with hot and cold refreshments and snacks from our counter.
