Welcome to UK Internal Martial Arts
We are a study group based in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire and run regular classes and seminars locally and nationally.The aim of the group is to study in depth the commonality and functionality of Martial Arts practice. There is no lineage considerations, traditional dress, belts or grades, Simply hard training to better know combat and ones self.
Material is taken and expanded from a number of Primary sources:
- Traditional Japanese Martial Arts (Daito Ryu Aiki Budo, Hakkuho Ryu, Enshin Ryu, Judo)
- Traditional Chinese Martial Arts (Xing Yi, Taiji, Ba Gua)
- Personal and Professional Experience
The methods trained in this group are primarily to bring about skill and strength in the following areas of combative and body development practices.
- Structure and alignment
- Strength and conditioning
- Awareness of the Body
- Freedom of movement
- Practical application of the body skill to combat (Hand2Hand, weapons and multiple opponents)
- Reality based self defence training
