We offer a range of courses that you may take as adults. The end goal is the same, the achievement of your Black Belt, its just the journey you take that differs. We offer 3 main courses
We also offer a 4th course which is by invitation only known as the LTC which is the Leadership Training Course and this offers a wide range of training outside of the Martial Arts. Basic This is for students who are looking forwards to their first introduction to the Martial arts and haven't yet made the commitment to study for a longer period of time. This course is therefore 6 Months in duration and students are restricted to only the 1st 2 grades within the syllabus. At the end of the course it simply repeats itself and is restricted to classes per week. |

BBTC This is based upon the Syllabus and techniques from the World Kickboxing Association (WKA). This course allows you to train at all the BBTC classes and students are assessed quarterly with all grades being recognised and certified by the WKA. In this class we concentrate on striking the pads and kick shields to develop fitness, effective techniques and distance training. The classes are normally held to background music which we use for timing as well as motivation. This develops the ability to fight in rounds but also allows students to push themselves as they know that at the end of the round there is a short interval. Within the BBTC we also cover the Nunchaku and self defence techniques to ensure students can utilise their skills in a practical situation. MTC All MTC students can also attend the BBTC classes but in addition students cover the syllabus from Warrior Eskrima and Chow Gar Southern Praying Mantis Kung Fu. These different styles are taught in separate classes but allow the student to experience a range of well recognised martial arts. The classes in Eskrima typically cover the weapons used in this Filipino martial art and this develops good defence and awareness of the dangers of weapons while developing fast reflexes and self defence techniques. The Chow Gar classes are taught on a more traditional basis with an emphasis on the development of the understanding of the Dim Mak or pressure point striking. Chow Gar is a highly effective all round martial art and has no sporting aspects. The style also covers many of the traditional Chinese weapons such as the spear, straight sword, pole, sai, trident, kwan do, Sword & Shield. In addition the twin Axes and steel whip are also covered. Chow Gar fighters were renowned for having forearms of "steel" and being able to take severe punishment to the body while protecting the vital organs. These skills are developed by extensive conditioning built up gradually by students and the development of internal strength by the practice of Qi Gong. Within the Chow Gar system many of the techniques are taught within preset routines and these are known as the forms of Chow Gar. The class is structured around the learning and understanding of these forms. The route to mastering Chow Gar is not an easy one but the rewards balance the effort put into developing these complex but effective techniques which have been proven to work over many generations in both armed and unarmed situations.
