Our Martial Arts training brings so much to the table in terms of benefits for a single activity. It would be difficult to find another activity which offers so much all round benefit.

We include so many skills in one class. Unlike many styles or combat sports which cover one or maybe two or three skill sets. This requires one to often take multiple different skill classes which takes up precious time and sometimes could pay separately for each in order to become all round, this can also lead to gaps in skill because people will generally choose a preference or easier one of the options. Our classes are well thought out to allow the potential to be higly skilled all round in terms of real self defence, traditional, sporting (striking based) and all round fitness.

We also excel, for the members looking to compete, in the exciting sporting side! All with the aim of the positive aspects from our training overflowing, leading to improvement of oneself in all areas of their lives.

MTG Martial Arts framework is on the original (ITF) military style Taekwon-Do augmented with our specialised reality based urban survival self defence SHS (MTG Survival Hosin Sul). Therefore because of the all round nature of the training, you will also find influences and various useful aspects adjusted to our needs associated with many martial art styles or combat sports such as boxing, kickboxing, karate, Kung Fu, Judo, Jui Jitsu, Krav Maga, Aikido, Hapkido, San Shou, Kyusho Jitsu & Jeet Kune Do to take our members to the next level of all rounded training for the purposes of self defence. Aspects of our Hosin Sul sylabus can be seen as hybrid or mixed martial arts (for the use of real world self defence not as the combat sport version)

All evolved and tweaked to be based on modern biomechnics and scientific principles which aims to build techniques which are efficient, powerful & also safer on ones joints/body.

Our Martial arts classes are for all ages and not only reserved for the young and fit. Our classes suite all capabilities and we proudly have older members aswell. Authentic Taekwon-Do also is about much more than only kicking! While Tkd is known for its kicks, because they grab alot of attention, the entire body is used as a tool for self defence.
