Mixed Martial Arts (MMA)This hugely popular and traditional martial art involves a variety of fighting techniques, including strikes, blocks, throws, stances and joint manipulations. Our regular classes, held at our permanent full-time fitness centre in Easingwold, teach all Kihon (basic) techniques of Shotokan Karate, the Kata (set patterns of moves) and Kumite (light sparring). Our coaches have experience in numerous styles and so include aspects from Kykushin, Wado-Ryu and Gojo Ryu Karate.
Our professional teaching approach respects the traditional values of karate, but in an atmosphere that is friendly, sociable and supportive. We want all our students to be as passionate about karate as we are and everyone is encouraged to progress at their own rate and grade with the long-term aim of reaching blackbelt (and beyond).
Less physically demanding than kick-boxing or MMA, Karate still offers an excellent full body workout that builds strength, agility, improves co-ordination and speed, and burns calories! Before you know it, you’ll feel stronger, fitter and be as hooked on this fun martial as the rest of us!
All ages and abilities are very welcome! Beginners will easily get to grips with the basic techniques and experienced students will be able to refine their existing skills and learn more advanced and challenging forms.

Great for fitness and mental well-being, Judo is a rewarding martial art and a powerful means of self-defence.
We have extensive experience and expertise in Judo and our friendly classes, based in our full-time fitness centre in Easingwold, teach traditional Judo to the highest standard.
Judo is a popular form of self-defence because it uses leverage to fell an opponent rather than a person’s strength – this makes it ideal for all ages, sizes, weights and heights! Our classes provide a safe environment to develop the skills and teach the clarity of mind needed to defend yourself effectively in the (hopefully unlikely!) instance of a real attack.
Classes vary week to week to keep them fun and challenging, covering various techniques including controlled falls, throws and lifts, grabs, and everything you need to pin your opponents down to the ground, and keep them there with various holds and joint locks (whilst still keeping it safe and fun!).
Physically, Judo will make you stronger, increase your speed, endurance and agility and teach you how to use your attributes to your advantage. Mentally, Judo is well known to improve-confidence and self-esteem, and reduce stress and anxiety.
Everyone from total novices to senior black belts are very welcome. For information on how you can join in, contact us below
