Connexion Martial Arts UK is a renowned martial arts club located in Wellington, New Zealand. They specialise in teaching a comprehensive self-defence system for both adults and juniors starting from the age of 6. The club aims to build confidence, increase focus, self-awareness, and practical life skills through the practise of Kenpo.
The head instructor, Mr. R. M. Walsh, holds an impressive 8th-degree black belt and has been teaching martial arts to juniors and adults in Somerset for over four decades.
He conducts classes in two locations, Taunton and Holcombe Rogus, offering convenience for students in the Wellington area. In addition to regular group classes, private lessons are also available, adding a personalised touch to the training experience.
For the younger members, Kenpo Kids lessons are designed with a focus on pad work, interactive games, and controlled sparring. This approach not only cultivates essential life skills but also prepares children to face the challenges of life with confidence. The club takes pride in being an allied member of Kenpo International since 2020 and a member of Taijiquan Institute (GB) since 2021, showcasing their commitment to quality and professional standards.
