About
Andy Greenhill invites you to join Tenkai Dojo Ashtead, a well-regarded martial arts club in Ashtead & Northwood. This club focuses on traditional Karate and Jujutsu suitable for students of all ages and skill levels.
Andy Greenhill has designed the classes at Tenkai Dojo Ashtead to enhance not just physical strength and agility, but also mental focus, discipline, and confidence. The experienced instructors, led by Greenhill, share their knowledge and skills in a safe and supportive setting, encouraging everyone to learn and grow.
In Jujutsu, students learn to use their opponent's energy against them, effectively countering attacks with minimal effort. The techniques include throws, joint manipulation, and immobilisation, making it possible to subdue larger or stronger attackers. Tenkai Dojo Ashtead specialises in Yamanaka-Ha Shindo-Ryu Jujutsu, an innovative style grounded in traditional techniques. The training involves ground, kneeling, and stand-up techniques for a comprehensive experience.
Karate at the dojo emphasises body movement, blocking, strikes, and kicks for self-defence. The club practises Okinawan Goju-ryu, a blend of Chinese Kung-fu and ancient Okinawan Te. This style provides effective self-defence methods and offers health benefits through conditioning and breathing exercises. Students engage in Kata, a series of pre-arranged moves, to develop discipline, focus, and a strong mind and body.
The club has received numerous testimonials from satisfied students and parents, expressing the physical and mental growth experienced through training at Tenkai Dojo Ashtead. They particularly commend Sensei Andy Greenhill for his teaching style, humility, and the respect he fosters within the club.
