London Martial Arts

Proud of Our Own!

This past weekend, one of our very own students and first responders, Nick Barger, had the opportunity to compete in a Jiu-Jitsu tournament at the Battle of Boots & Badges.

Nick did absolutely amazing, and we couldn’t be prouder of him! Your dedication, discipline, and commitment both on the mats and in service to our community are truly inspiring.

Thank you, Nick, for all you do!

The BJJ team was back on the mats last night, putting in the work!

As always, there were plenty of laughs, lots of sweat, and maybe even a few tears. That's what happens when you push yourself alongside an awesome team.

Great work, everyone! We hope to see you all back on the mats tonight for another great session.

Amazing class last night at London Martial Arts!

Huge shoutout to everyone who showed up, put in the work, and got some great rounds in. Your dedication is what makes this team special.

A very special thank you to our guests, Gina Elliott and Natilee from 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu in Richmond, for coming out and sharing the mats with us. Your support means the world to us, and we truly appreciate you taking the time to train with our team.

Looking forward to the next one!

Friday, Class Schedule Update!

Kids classes will continue on the regular Friday schedule today.

Adult Striking and Adult Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) classes will resume on Monday.

Thank you for your understanding, and we look forward to seeing everyone back on the mats!

Ladies, this one's for you!

Our Women-Only Martial Arts Class kicks off September 5th, and we're excited to welcome you!

The class on September 5th is 100% FREE!

After that, classes are just $25 per session or $100 for a 5-class package, an incredible deal for learning valuable self-defense skills while getting a great workout.

If you're feeling nervous or have little to no experience, don't worry, that's exactly what this class is for! Kinnedy will be there to answer any questions, ease any concerns, and help you feel comfortable before and during class. Everyone starts somewhere, and you'll be learning alongside other women who are beginning the same journey.

This is going to be a fun, empowering, and exciting experience for everyone involved. We can't wait to see you on September 5th!

Tag a friend and come give it a try!

Rain, sunshine, or somehow both at the same time... that's what the weather has been giving us lately.

But we still train.

Just like these kids, showing up, putting in the work, and getting a little better every session. That's what martial arts is all about: consistency, discipline, and never letting the weather decide your progress.

Hopefully, we'll see you on the mats soon!

I wanted to get more women involved in the sport. I've trained in this male-dominated sport for 10 years and have rarely had a consistent female training partner.

Every woman should have the knowledge and confidence to defend herself if needed. Martial arts builds both physical and mental strength while teaching practical self-defense skills.

Martial arts is a full-body workout that improves strength, endurance, and cardio all at once. With consistency, you'll get stronger, build confidence, and learn how to defend yourself both standing and on the ground.

I've been involved in martial arts since I was 13 and grew up in the gym. I coached boxing for years and, after rediscovering my passion for teaching, I now feel my experience allows me to give even more back as an instructor.

I hope more women discover a love for martial arts while gaining confidence, valuable self-defense skills, and the strength to become the best version of themselves.

London Martial Arts Monthly Hygiene Reminder!

Your monthly reminder that your training partners signed up for martial arts... not biological warfare.

Wash your Gi and rash guards after every class.

Striking students: We're looking at you, too! If your boxing gloves and shin guards live in your gym bag 24/7, they're not "breaking in"—they're marinating.

Here are a few easy tips to keep your gear (and teammates) happy:

Wash your Gi and rash guards after every training session.

Take your gloves and shin guards out of your gym bag as soon as you get home.

Open the gloves completely so they can air dry.

Let your gear dry in a well-ventilated area.

Use glove deodorizer balls or a light disinfectant spray designed for sports equipment.

Clean out your gym bag every now and then—it needs a bath too!

While you're at it:

-Trim those fingernails and toenails. Nobody enjoys surprise claw attacks.

-Brush your teeth before class and come with fresh breath. Your training partner shouldn't have to tap out because of your last meal.

Clean gear. Clean nails. Fresh breath.

Your teammates will thank you... and so will the mats.
