Our classes & training
At Forest Hill Martial Arts, our classes stand apart. We focus on real-world self-defence, incorporating traditional techniques and weapons training. Our approach is non-sports focused, ensuring every lesson contributes to practical, applicable skills for your safety and confidence.
Real-world self-defence
Learn self-defence that actually works in real life, not just in a dojo. Train to recognise danger early, stay calm under pressure, and protect yourself when it matters most.
Training emphasises practical self-protection grounded in awareness, timing, and control. Students develop the ability to respond effectively while prioritising avoidance and personal safety.
Traditional weapons
Explore a range of traditional weapons to build coordination, awareness, and real control beyond empty-hand training. Weapons work sharpens timing, distance, and focus while adding depth and variety to your martial arts practice.
Training incorporates a variety of traditional weapons to develop fundamental principles such as posture, alignment, distancing, and flow. This practice enhances overall movement, reinforces core techniques, and provides a deeper understanding of classical martial arts systems.
Knife Defence
Knife situations are high-risk—our training focuses on awareness, avoidance, and smart decision-making first. Learn how to move, react, and stay safe under pressure in a controlled environment.
Knife defence training develops awareness, distancing, and appropriate response to edged weapon threats. Emphasis is placed on control, positioning, and minimising risk through disciplined practice.
