How To Join
It's quite easy, you can either telephone/email Sensei Bateman to get details, or you can walk into a class and have a chat. We are a friendly bunch!
You don't have to have trained in a martial art before to start to learn Kobudo. Similarly you can be already a practicing Martial Artist from any discipline. We have had students from various systems such as Karate, Tae Kwondo, Iaido, and Judo etc. So if you’re interested in Okinawan Kobudo then come and have a go. The first three lessons are Free!
However, you do need to be above 14 years old to practice. So if you are then give us a call on:
