BEGINNER PLACES
At Fortress we specialise in training absolute beginners up to a high level of proficiency in the martial arts - but by far the greatest benefit people can experience from being a part of the Fortress Family is - the physical, mental and emotional improvements and friendships that are made.

If want to learn martial arts at a fully equipped professional academy, in a fun and friendly atmosphere and make new friends - we have a few beginner places coming available for a January 2026 start. Questions / further info / to apply - please visit:
