Exeter Martial Arts

Exeter Martial Arts (EMA) is a martial arts school located in Exeter, New Zealand. With a strong focus on high-quality instruction, EMA offers a wide range of classes for children and adults alike.

The children's classes at EMA are designed to provide the best learning experience for each age group. With classes tailored to fit the specific needs of children in five different age groups, EMA ensures that every child receives the attention and guidance they require to excel in their martial arts journey. These classes not only focus on physical fitness and self-defence but also on character-building and fun workouts.

For those seeking the traditional martial arts experience, EMA is proud to be recognised as the top traditional martial arts dojo in the South West. With a rich history stemming from ancient Japan, these martial arts have been passed down through generations and remain relevant today. Not only do they offer effective self-defence techniques, but they also provide a great way to build fitness and overall wellbeing.

Testimonials from satisfied members highlight the excellent coaching and the welcoming and friendly environment at EMA. Members appreciate the instruction and tuition they receive, and many note that they have seen great improvements in their fitness and skill levels since joining.

In addition to traditional martial arts, EMA offers classes in boxing, fitness and strength training, Tai Chi and Qi Gong, wrestling, and Pad Blast. Each of these classes offers a unique experience for those looking to expand their skills and challenge themselves physically and mentally.

With a strong emphasis on teaching important values such as discipline, respect, focus, coordination, and fitness, EMA's Little Lions programme is specifically designed for children aged 5-6. The Lion Cubs programme, for children aged 3-4, also focuses on instilling these values and principles in young children.

EMA offers Junior Jiu Jitsu classes for children aged 7-11, where they learn the highly effective self-defence system of Japanese jiu-jitsu. Cadets Jiu Jitsu classes, tailored for 11-15 year olds, focus strongly on self-defence skills, recognising the importance of these skills as children become more independent.

For adults, EMA provides a comprehensive timetable of classes. From Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for juniors and cadets to kickboxing, fitness, and strength training for adults, there are options available for all fitness levels and goals.
