Our facilities are built to a high standard with the intention of providing the best martial arts training environment. We have many features which are not available at most training centres.
Training facilities include:
18 x 18m open training ground
Our main training area. Big and with a solid, even floor. Awesome views and ideal for filming / photography. Lights for night time training.
13 x 13m roofed training ground with 2cm jigsaw mats
The roofed training area is ideal for training during the hot part of the day: the roof provides shade and cool air blows through keeping the temperature very comfortable even at mid day. The mats make this area ideal for practising throws, take downs, rolls etc. The yellow mats are arranged in an 8mx8m square with black mats surrounding them so as to form a san da competition area. Amazing views and lights for night time training.
