It is our mission to promote physical and mental health, self discipline, and community cohesion by reaching the most at risk and vulnerable groups in society. We aim to tackle issues such as financial barriers to participation in sports, social isolation, antisocial behaviour, obesity, holiday hunger and mental health issues.
Our core values are based on the principles of ‘Budo’ aka the martial way. These principles are; respect, honour, integrity, honesty, courage, compassion and loyalty. We believe that promoting these positive attributes through sports, martial arts and wellbeing; the lives of children, young people and families in our communities can be positively changed for the better.
We provide a variety of free of charge and subsidised martial arts, sports and wellness activities to children, young people, families and other at risk groups of people. We partner with local schools, clubs, charities and the local authority to identify service users and their needs. Safeguarding is paramount to all we do and our staff, courses and facilities are rigorously assessed so that everybody we train can be mentored, and be encouraged without fear of harassment.
