mindfulness in motion

ssist the individual to better understand human body mechanics and how to apply this knowledge onto resisting partners. We also strongly work to assist the student to develop the links between body and mind, learning to observe and reflect on both physical and mental tension and to slowly release this tension. Training is layered in such a way that new students can fit comfortably into classes with higher level students to better absorb and understand the principles of the art. All of our senior instructors have a minimum of 10 years training. Class times:

Monday and Wednesday 7pm – 9pm Saturday: 10am – midday

Semi Private and Private training: By appointment

Our children’s classes are split into 2 age groups, Grasshoppers (5-9) and Mantises (10-14). All of our young people work with our code for living: Be Strong, Be Calm, Be Kind and Try Hard. Grasshoppers:

The emphasis for our Grasshoppers programme working primarily on developing skills for life though games and activities that are not only opportunities for personal growth but are also fun.
