SIGN UP FOR OUR NEWS LETTER:
" Being a complete beginner and having no martial arts exposure whatsoever, I took my free trial class with a 'nothing to loose apart from a damaged ego' attitude. At the end of the class I was blown away and totally exhilarated and most definitely 'hooked'. James really ‘walks his talk’ and I am amazed what I learn in every class. I feel confident that what I have been taught would be effective, no matter the height or weight of my potential attacker. With the easily applied techniques, James' humorous tales and cliff hangers for the next class, I recommend this class to anyone and everyone. Thank you James for being so giving, expanding our knowledge and always keeping us on our toes! " - Lesley (Escazu)
