Our programme combines the benefits of the traditional martial arts, integrity, respect, humility, perseverance, and courtesy with the skills needed in today’s modern environment. Basic skills can be improved such as balance and co-ordination whilst improving self-confidence, concentration, self control and determination. The ability to deal with the everyday problems that may arise at school such as bullying and anger management combined with goal setting and achieving these goals. Of course none of this can be achieved without the commitment and support from both the children and the parents. The classes are ideal for individuals from all walks of life and with a wide variety of individual needs, be it to develop one's confidence or to control anger. With this in mind our classes can offer the added benefits of a healthier lifestyle and improve general fitness.

Duchy College — Day 2 Complete ✅

Back at Duchy College, Camborne with the Military & Protective Services students for our second 2-hour session.

We split the group into 2 focused sessions:

1. Basic Knife Defence
The reality check: you can’t truly stop a knife attack. A blade is easily concealed and its movement is unpredictable. We covered why the goal is never to be a hero — it’s to minimise damage, create distance, and get away safely.

2. Gun Defence
Close-quarter work with a handgun used as a threat. We broke down Action vs Reaction — why action will always beat reaction at close range — and drilled how to use that principle to create an opportunity to escape.

Serious, mature work from the group today. They listened, questioned, and understood the context — exactly what you need for this career path.

Great effort from everyone. Looking forward to the next session.

Why train in jeans, not just gi’s. 👖

This is a Krav Maga pressure test - in everyday streetwear.

In the real world, you won’t be attacked in your gym kit. You’ll be in jeans, work clothes, boots. You’ll be tired, caught off guard, in a tight space.

That’s why we pressure test in normal clothes:

✓ Real movement - learn how your everyday clothes actually move, grab, and restrict - so you’re not surprised
✓ Real footwear - balance, kicking and footwork in the shoes you actually wear
✓ Real mindset - training outside your comfort zone builds the decision-making you need under stress

No fancy acrobatics. Just practical, effective self-defence that works for real people.

Look at this photo - two regular guys. Different ages, different fitness, different backgrounds. No egos, no uniforms, just learning. That’s what Kernow Martial Arts is about.

Our classes are built for all ages, all abilities, all fitness levels. You don’t need to be fit to start - you get fit by starting. You work at your own pace, with a supportive team around you.

If you’ve thought about trying Krav Maga but thought “it’s not for me” - this is your sign.

Great start with Duchy College! 💥

Today marked the first 2-hour session with the fantastic students on the Military & Protective Services course at Duchy College, Camborne.

Day 1 was all about open-hand fundamentals — movement, control, and effective striking. The group put in serious work and showed real potential.

We’re back on Thursday for Session 2, moving into basic weapon defence.

Proud to be supporting the next generation heading into the protective services.

The best gift you can give your child isn't the material things... it's the skills that stay with them for life. 🥋

At Kernow Martial Arts, we see it every single day.

It's not just kicks and punches. It's:

✓ Confidence - standing taller, speaking up, believing in themselves
✓ Focus & Discipline - listening, working hard, and not giving up when it's tough
✓ Respect - for themselves, for others, and for their instructors
✓ Resilience - learning how to get back up, stronger
✓ Fitness & Coordination - getting stronger and healthier without even realising it
✓ Real Self-Defence - the ability to stay safe and set boundaries
✓ Friendship - being part of a team that lifts each other up

Material gifts break and get forgotten. These skills build the person they become.

We have a few spaces in our kids classes in St Austell this month. If you want to give them a head start for life, get in touch to book a trial.

SU***DE PREVENTION DAY - YOU ARE NOT ALONE

At Kernow Martial Arts, we teach more than techniques.

We teach strength, resilience and connection — on and off the mats. Sometimes just showing up, being around people, and knowing someone has your back makes all the difference.

If you're having a tough time, please reach out. To a friend, a family member, or a professional. And if you see someone struggling, check in on them. A simple chat can save a life.

Our doors are always open. You don't have to face things alone.

We run classes for all ages and abilities in a friendly, supportive environment — from beginners to advanced, kids to adults. No egos, just community.

If you or your family want to try a class, build confidence, and be part of something positive:
