The core class is our
Unarmed Combat – Self Protection – Threat Response – Street Fighting – Urban Combat system.

This is a set of drills students practice with each other.

There is no punching and kicking the air, though we do incorporate shadow boxing.

There is no hard oriental “discipline”, we train in a relaxed and friendly manner.

There is no bowing, we prefer a smile and a handshake.

There is no half hour “warm up”, just some basic stretching.
This is not an aerobics class or a yoga class, it is a Martial Arts skills class.
You spend your time building skills.

If you want to get fit go to aerobics.
If you want to get muscles go to the gym.
If you want to get flexible go to yoga.
If you want to learn to fight – come to see us.

Women Empowerment – Self Defence, Martial Arts, Kickboxing


Ladies from Surrey, South Croydon and South London area interested in training, are all welcome to watch and try the classes in Shiro Tora.

At STMA Women who want to train in Martial Arts, Self Defence, Kickboxing, train alongside the men, NOT in a separate class.

Traditionally our dojos have always offered:

Ladies and womens classes in Self Defence
Ladies and womens classes in Martial Arts
Ladies and womens classes in Kickboxing
Ladies and womens classes in Muay Thai – Thai boxing
Ladies and womens classes in Wing Chun Kung Fu
Ladies and womens classes in Kali and Filipino Martial Arts
Ladies and womens classes in Self Protection and R**e Prevention



A lot of ladies join kickboxing classes to enjoy the sport and sparring. This is particularly good for women with a background in aerobics, dance, fitness, and those who have attended classes such as Body Combat.

A lot of ladies come to class interested in Self Defence and Self Protection, and the increasing need for R**e Defence training.

A lot of women join Martial arts to learn traditional arts and earn their belts.
We have several female members who have trained up to Black Belt and one female 2nd dan instructor.

Come and join our classes and become Totally Empowered!

The 4 elements of STMA are:

Unarmed Combat
Kickboxing
Grappling
Weapons

Those familiar with the Godai concept of 5 elements in Oriental philosophy will know how they relate to the chakra system of consciousness.

Some of you will have read about this subject and how they relate to the psychological and physical aspects of combat.

We are now able to relate each of the 4 elements of STMA to the 4 elements of earth, water, fire and wind.

Due to the content and standard of our training it is only suitable for persons over the age of 18.

Our curriculum includes:
