Martial
Arts Syles offered in Manchester
The
martial arts of the world break down into 2 broad types:
armed and unarmed. Armed martial arts comprise such
styles as; archery, fencing both eastern and western,
kobudo (Japanese study of ancient weapons) and obviously
firearms. The Edwards system teach defence against weapons
used in stabbing, cutting and striking. Many weapon
based systems are impracticable for self defence though
they are still popular and some are useful for keeping
fit.
Unarmed combat in the martial arts is by far the most
popular and itself breaks down in to 3 broad divisions:
striking styles which comprise kicking and punching,
wrestling styles and styles which comprise both striking
and wrestling.

Striking Styles
These styles come from around the world though mainly
from the East. Styles such as: Boxing originally from
Britain in its modern form or Karate from Japan, Kung
Fu (there are 100’s of kung fu styles some of which
combine all 3 elements) from China, Tae Kwon Do from
Korea, Muay Thai from Thailand and Savate from France.
In recent years kickboxing has emerged from both Europe
and the US and has overtaken many of the more traditional
styles.
Wrestling Styles
Wrestling (or grappling styles) come from all over the
world too and include: Greco Roman, Freestyle, Catch
wrestling, and the like. Then there is Judo, Brazilian
Jiu Jitsu, Aikido and of course Japanese Sumo. Sambo
from Russia, Indian Wrestling, and Turkish plus Lutte
from around France and Italy.
Striking & Wrestling Styles
Mixed Martial Arts is from many different countries,
Ju Jitsu from Japan, Hapkido from Korea, Krav Maga from
Israel, Aiki Jutsu and Atemi Jutsu from Japan also and
Vale Tudo from Brazil
Which style you choose depends very much on what you
want to achieve with your martial arts. Whether you
want self defence, fitness, strength, confidence or
self discipline. Some styles will give you one but not
another whilst a few will give you all of these.

MMA (Mixed Martial Arts)
Otherwise known as Vale Tudo. A Portugese term meaning
'no rules' Vale Tudo combines striking, throws and submissions.
Many of the techniques come from Brazilian Ju jitsu
with 'Dirty Boxing' added. It builds terrific body strength
and cardio fitness.
Freestyle Karate & Kung Fu
Freestyle is a points competition fighting system which
developed in the eighties from the old 'Ippon kumite'
it combines techniques from Karate and Kung Fu to produce
a lightning fast competition method. Although primarily
a competition system there are several street defence
crossovers such as 'speed' which are invaluable. It
is a safe and exciting sport which builds lightning
fast reflexes.
Street Judo
Street Judo is a mixture of Kickboxing and Judo and
its the discipline that teaches the close quarter grappling
with strikes and kicks. The aim is to put your opponent
on the floor. It builds a high level of close quarter
skill ideal for competition and street defence.
Nunchaku
Nunchaku is the weapon made famous by Bruce Lee. Used
in both Japanese and Chinese martial arts it is great
for developing 'hand-eye' coordination. Its brilliant
to watch and even better to practice yourself. Another
fun but practical discipline that our Masters and Black
Belt Leadership students list as a firm favourite.
Bo Staff
The Bo staff is a 6ft pole and is based on the Japanese
kobudo method combined with the western quarter staff.
It is invaluable for building and understanding balance
and the similarities between armed and unarmed combat
systems. Children use the Jo staff which is 4ft long
instead of 6. As an art form it has an elegant style
but with a deadly kick to it!
Stab Program
Stab Program is our knife defence system and combines
elements of Krav Maga, Aikido, Ju Jitsu, Judo and Kickboxing
to provide a practical street defence system against
bladed weapons. On a lighter side it brings a number
of the disciplines together in a practical way that
is great fun.
Escrima
The Philipino short stick fighting system. Using sticks
usually between 26-28 inches long it is a very practical
close range weapon system that has close similarities
with western Boxing. Its a fast and exciting system
that builds fitness as well as superb 'hand-eye' coordinationation,
again one of our firm favourites with our Black belt
Leadership students.

Boxing
One of the world's most successful martial arts from
which the most effective styles draw their punching
techniques. A very specialist and very realistic system
even though it has no kicks or grappling it is still
difficult to beat.
