Yesterday was a really special day at ENSO. ⭕️
A day that reminds us what martial arts is truly about.

Our advanced students stepped onto the mat to take on Brown Belt, 1st Degree Black Belt and 3rd Degree Black Belt. Every single one of them showed incredible courage and spirit throughout the day.

These gradings are the culmination of many years of hard work, consistency, self discipline and the determination to keep going even when things get tough.

Watching students conquer these experiences is one of the greatest privileges we could ask for as instructors. We are incredibly proud of our students and very grateful to be a part of each person’s journey.

Thanks

Exciting News!

We’re really proud to officially welcome Daz Chauhan as a Non-Executive Director at ENSO Martial Arts CIC.

Daz, along with his family, has been part of the ENSO community since the beginning and truly understands our ethos, values and long-term vision.

Professionally, Daz works as a Data Consultant and will be supporting ENSO behind the scenes with a number of exciting projects, including helping us shape future digital systems and developments as we continue to grow.

As ENSO continues evolving as both a martial arts organisation and community interest company, bringing experienced professionals into the team is an important part of building something sustainable, innovative and impactful for the future.

What started as a small community project has grown into one of the North West’s largest martial arts brands and we’re incredibly grateful for the people who believe in what we’re building.

Welcome to the leadership team, Daz 👊

An exciting Saturday morning at our Fulwood Family Ju Jitsu class.

Our instructor’s were very impressed with everyone’s efforts at the grading. Students pushing each other on, digging deep and giving absolutely everything right until the end.

That kind of spirit can’t be faked and it’s exactly what makes our ENSO community special.

Well done everyone 👏🏻

Huge respect to everyone who stepped onto the mats for our Cottam Community Centre Senior grading last night. 👊🏻

No shortcuts, just hard work, pressure and people refusing to quit.

Some outstanding performances across the board and a real step up in technique and composure from our students.

Enjoy this achievement, then back to training! 💪🏻

Congratulations to those students who graded at our popular Fulwood class last night. The standard on display was exceptional. Not just technically, but in attitude, effort, resilience and respect.

Gradings are never just about belts. They are about growth, discipline, courage and pushing beyond your comfort zone. Seeing our students support one another, dig deep and rise to the challenge made us incredibly proud as instructors.

Practice makes Progress! 👊🏻

We’d like to wish a speedy recovery to Senpai Phoebe from our popular Heaton class. She’s recovering from knee surgery, but we are sure she’ll be back on the mats again soon!

Get better soon mate! ⭕️
