TMA welcomes students of all levels, from complete beginners to advanced black belts, and caters to both recreational and competitive players. The classes offered by TMA ensure a holistic approach to martial arts training, focusing not only on winning medals but also on personal growth, discipline, and self-improvement.
In terms of disciplines, TMA provides classes in Judo, a safe and effective martial art that utilises an opponent's movement and strength against them. With techniques including throwing, hold-downs, arm locks, and choking, Judo is an Olympic sport that offers a comprehensive physical workout alongside self-defence skills.
TMA also offers modern Japanese Jujitsu classes, which trace their roots back to the martial art of the Samurai warrior. Jujitsu incorporates striking, grappling, choking, and locking techniques, often called the father of all modern Japanese martial arts.
Furthermore, TMA offers Combat Fitness classes, which are high-intensity interval training (HIIT) sessions using martial art-based drills. These classes provide a dynamic full-body workout, enhancing strength, endurance, and overall fitness.
For individuals seeking self-defence training, TMA provides a range of courses tailored to different needs. These courses can range from a one-hour session to multiple-day workshops. Interested individuals are encouraged to get in touch to discuss their specific requirements.
TMA maintains a well-structured timetable to accommodate various age groups and skill levels. With classes available throughout the week, including weekdays and weekends, students can conveniently choose a schedule that suits them. The timetable includes Junior Judo classes for children aged 7 and above, as well as adult Judo and Jujitsu classes.
Membership fees at TMA are paid on a monthly basis via standing order, with the fee structure designed to reward regular attendance. The more weekly classes a member attends, the lower the class fee becomes. Family discounts are also available for immediate family members, offering additional savings.
