Well, that is something you can only find out by taking action and giving it ago.

We have combined many styles into the Edwards system which combines both striking and wrestling with weapons work. We will get you very fit and strong whilst teaching you a self defence system that is unsurpassed. We will also teach you specific disciplines with our system that will develop particular skills and abilities. We will help you develop many different skills both physical and mental and under our professional eye you will be developing new skills and abilities that you have not even considered yet.

We want to help you to get a safe start in martial arts so we are offering you a FREE 30 day membership to find out if we are what you are looking for, but if you decide from the outset that it is then we will give you £100 off the 6 month basic program membership instead.

You have nothing to lose either way so if you have read enough and are now ready to give it a try then simply fill in the form below; complete your details and send your information.

Being so much larger than any other schools in the area, economies of scale allow us to teach many more disciplines.

MMA (Mixed Martial Arts)

Otherwise known as Vale Tudo. A Portugese term meaning 'no rules' Vale Tudo combines striking, throws and submissions. Many of the techniques come from Brazilian Ju jitsu with 'Dirty Boxing' added. It builds terrific body strength and cardio fitness.

Freestyle Karate & Kung Fu

Freestyle is a points competition fighting system which developed in the eighties from the old 'Ippon kumite' it combines techniques from Karate and Kung Fu to produce a lightning fast competition method. Although primarily a competition system there are several street defence crossovers such as 'speed' which are invaluable. It is a safe and exciting sport which builds lightning fast reflexes.

Street Judo

Street Judo is a mixture of Kickboxing and Judo and its the discipline that teaches the close quarter grappling with strikes and kicks. The aim is to put your opponent on the floor. It builds a high level of close quarter skill ideal for competition and street defence.

Nunchaku

Nunchaku is the weapon made famous by Bruce Lee. Used in both Japanese and Chinese martial arts it is great for developing 'hand-eye' coordination. Its brilliant to watch and even better to practice yourself. Another fun but practical discipline that our Masters and Black Belt Leadership students list as a firm favourite.

Bo Staff

The Bo staff is a 6ft pole and is based on the Japanese kobudo method combined with the western quarter staff. It is invaluable for building and understanding balance and the similarities between armed and unarmed combat systems. Children use the Jo staff which is 4ft long instead of 6. As an art form it has an elegant style but with a deadly kick to it!

Stab Program

Stab Program is our knife defence system and combines elements of Krav Maga, Aikido, Ju Jitsu, Judo and Kickboxing to provide a practical street defence system against bladed weapons. On a lighter side it brings a number of the disciplines together in a practical way that is great fun.

Escrima

The Philipino short stick fighting system. Using sticks usually between 26-28 inches long it is a very practical close range weapon system that has close similarities with western Boxing. Its a fast and exciting system that builds fitness as well as superb 'hand-eye' coordinationation, again one of our firm favourites with our Black belt Leadership students.

Boxing

One of the world's most successful martial arts from which the most effective styles draw their punching techniques. A very specialist and very realistic system even though it has no kicks or grappling it is still difficult to beat.
