CLUB ETIQUETTE Hygiene The first and most important rule at the club is mat hygiene. Keeping the mats clean and free of germs is paramount to a successful club. It is a club rule that if you are off the mat you are not bare feet.

We suggest bringing a pair of sliders or flip flops to wear that can be left at the side of the mat allowing you to slip them on and off easily if you have to come off the mat.

Finger and toe nails are to be kept clean and trimmed at all times for training to avoid unnecessary germs and injuries caused by nails.

If you have any marks or rashes you need to inform Ash so he can advise whether you can train with it.

It is vital your kit is clean for every session.

No zips allowed on any kit.

Members Fees The monthly membership fee is either ÂŁ50 per month via direct debit or ÂŁ7 per session.

First week is free

Muay Thai, Judo & Wrestling We are delighted to have Kru Helm as our Muay Thai coach. Kru is striking coach of Tillery Combat working with the likes of Jack Shore & Josh Reed. Due to Ash’s close relationship with Tillery Combat he has been able to secure Kru’s services.

Julian Hiscock is our Judo coach. Like Ash he is a black belt in Judo and his sessions are very popular with our members with

Josh Reed working with Muay Thai coach Kru Helm his excellent coaching style, meaning members can improve significantly and quickly in the discipline of Judo.

Being able to offer multiple martial arts is something the club has always aspired to do.

PROG RAMME BENEFITS There are many reasons and benefits for children to join a martial arts gym to take up Jiu Jitsu, Judo, Muay Thai, Wrestling or all of the above.

Self Defence It has long been argued that Jiu Jitsu is the best martial art for self-defence.

Even more so when used with the other martial arts available at Amos Martial Arts, including Judo, Wrestling & Muay Thai, it can give you the self-belief to know that you will be able to defend yourself in any situation. In this day and age self-defence has never been so prevalent and one of the main drivers for the club is to give all members the ability to be able to defend themselves and have confidence in their selves.

Help With School Work & Revision Members find a much greater ability to concentrate for longer periods but also being part of this martial arts club, junior members’ success in school is very important to the club and is encouraged daily.

Weight Control & Lifestyle So many people use martial arts as a way to control or reduce their weight.

Whether that is just a lifestyle choice or due to a medical condition you will be able to be in control of your weight and enjoy an environment that makes it fun.

Training At Amos Martial Arts each lesson is differentiated for all abilities catering for complete beginners up to professional athletes. Having a training program that can meet all needs is vital in any successful martial arts academy.

Competition The club prides itself on its outstanding competition record. Competition is a great way to not only demonstrate what have you learnt but also a way of finding yourself within a competitive environment.
