Project aim
We are creating a family orientated state of the art martial arts facility, that acts as a hub for any martial arts and fitness activity within South East London, offering world class tuition and world class results.
As keen martial artists we recognise the importance, and the amazing benefits training can have on individuals and families alike. We also understand the positive effect that can be had with the best tuition, top of the range equipment and a good surrounding environment.
What if there was a place where you could go and experience multiple martial arts of your choice, learn to defend yourself, improve your fitness, and get amazing results for one price, in one place?

What will the funding be used for?
As our aim to create a new and exciting space to attract families from all over South East London we realise that our offering needs to be special and unique. We have tested the concept at our existing premises, offering a wide range of family orientated sessions. We know there is a demand and a need for greater space and enhanced facilities which will take our offering to a new level. The money raised will be specifically used for the following projects:
- Treatment rooms and a sauna
- New gym equipment
- New EPOS system
- Marketing the concept
