Martial Arts & Fitness Centre

Heidi Thomas wants to share some insights about the vibrant community at the Martial Arts & Fitness Centre in Poole, Dorset. Heidi has seen firsthand how dedication pays off and how much children, including her own, love the guidance they receive from their instructors.

Training in ju jitsu at the centre isn't just about mastering a martial art. According to Charlotte Walker, a student, it’s equally about the social experience, the thrill of learning new techniques, and pushing past familiar boundaries.

Joanne Batcock, a parent, echoes this enthusiasm. Her two children eagerly look forward to their training sessions every Tuesday and Thursday, grateful for the top-notch instructors.

With over 25 years of experience, the Martial Arts & Fitness Centre, better known in the community as Poole Ju jitsu, has become a cornerstone for martial arts training. The instructors, a dedicated team including Wendy Llewellyn, Karen Nuttall, Layla, Andy Walker, and Claudia Robinson, focus on creating an enjoyable and welcoming environment.

The junior classes, for youngsters aged 5 and above, emphasise building confidence and respect through engaging activities. The success of these classes is clear from the numerous medals students have brought home from national and international competitions.

Adults also find great value in the training at Poole Ju jitsu. The adult ju jitsu classes, held every Tuesday and Thursday evening, offer a challenging workout, teaching self-defence techniques while boosting physical fitness and mental well-being.

For those looking for something different, the centre offers ladies' keep fit sessions every Saturday morning. These classes offer a wonderful workout experience, guided by experienced instructors.

Additionally, the centre provides invitation-only Kobudo Weapons training. This class delves into traditional Okinawan weaponry, offering a unique discipline for those interested.

The littlest members of the community aren't left out either. The Little Warriors programme, held every Wednesday afternoon for children aged 3-4, focuses on instilling confidence and respect.

Heidi is proud of the centre's recognition, with the notable Clubmark accreditation from Sports England, a testament to the club’s excellence in martial arts training.
