Come and learn practical self-defence in a fun environment, every Saturday at Qmotion, Stepney Green. The first lesson is free. Beginners are always welcome.
For your first class all you need is water and comfortable gym clothing.

It’s been ages since I last posted, and what an ages it’s been. We went straight from our 3rd anniversary class (14th March) into a national lockdown, had our first online class the same week (on my birthday), and three months (and 30 online sessions) later we held our first “socially distanced” outdoor training. It was great to be able to see and train with real people again, not to mention have the first post-training beer in 3 months.
Challenging times for us all, and I hope all our club members are staying safe and well. If anything, the situation has also presented an opportunity to innovate and experiement with different forms of teaching and practice, so silver linings and all I guess.
By the way, the irony of our new scroll is not lost on me... “menju menju”, face to face we give and receive (teachings). Who’d have thought that would apply so literally?
Anyway, thanks everyone who has continued to attend and support our classes! Hope to see you all in the park (or dojo) soon.
