Keyworth martial arts are currently only doing private lessons

Announcement:

We are sad to announce that having assessed priorities post Covid we are not in a position to reopen in the Keyworth and Cotgrave areas.
Unfortunately a combination of having to enter into work contracts during the pandemic and the venues being less than ideal we have decide to concentrate on our long-time established adult clubs.
We apologise for any inconvenience but should any of our adult members still want to train and can make it to Nottingham University or Beeston you would be made welcome.

As we are about to enter 2021 who knows what the future will hold with regard to our new club, it has been impossible to continue through most of 2020 due to Covid and it seems we are still several months away from any kind of normality.
I will keep everyone informed via this page.
Let’s hope for a better 2021, Happy New Year to all.

Sadly, even though gyms are now open, martial arts practice is still very restricted and would not involve any contact which in my view means that you would not be doing martial arts. Also, due to us not having control of our own venue, safety and the logistics of setting up and cleaning afterwards together with restrictions on numbers means that we are not going to reopen at this stage.
It is our intention to reopen at some point but please bear with us, we really want to put your safety first and not rip anyone off by putting on substandard sessions.

Hi everyone, sorry there hasn't been any videos for the last few weeks. I think the initial videos posted while everyone was locked down were useful but we have reached a point where any more solo videos would not have the same impact. However, over the next two weeks, I am hoping to release some videos with contact that will allow people to see some applications.

It seems that martial arts can resume towards the end of this month but it is likely that any contact would still be prohibited.
I am concerned that due to this at the moment classes would not be of the quality I would expect to be providing and given that the venue we use is not our own, I have other concerns about how I can keep you as safe as you deserve.
I am reviewing our position and considering the advice as it is released.
Watch this space.

Sorry everyone, no new video this week. I’ve been a bit under the weather but improving now. Normal service will be resumed next week.

This week learn some useful back stretches

I thought I would share a very simple and good takedown this week, if you try it be careful where you do it and how you fall.

Sifu Blackley, demonstrates and discusses his favourite take down from the back position. This easy to perform take down is both practical and safe to do

A simple thing but there is a right way and many wrong ways. This is something you can practice at home.
