Street Combat

This class brings all our separate styles together for an hour of modern self-defence. You'll cover various attacks and scenarios you might encounter out in the street - intimidation and actual conflict: striking, being pulled to the ground, weapons. Sometimes we'll take a technical focus, or put on pads and spar, and other times we'll drill specific scenarios over and over. Bringing together our toolkits from BJJ, Wing-Chun and Eskrima, expect a high-energy class, on the edge of your comfort zone but in a challenging - but always safe -environment!

VSCK Eskrima - Phillipino Martial Arts

From 2023 we're privileged to open the first NZ School of VSCK Eskrima, under the supervision of Guro Mario Fernandez Quiroz. Guro Mario trained directly under the late Sonny Umpad. His approach adds powerful footwork and distance awareness training to the formiddable Phillipino art. It's a perfect complement to Wing Chun syllabus, and builds powerfully alongside our existing concepts from GM Bobby Taboada's Balintawak and GM Remy Presas' Modern Arnis systems.

Combat Fitness

This is our pad-smashing, high-energy cardio class. Strap on some gloves and beat the stuffing out of our boxing and thai pads. This class draws on our background in Zen Do Kai and Thai training to build strength, fitness, stamina and conditioning. And we train to music with a shared playlist - come smash the pads and add your musical suggestions!!

Wing Chun

Wing Chun is the beating heart of our school! These classes will take you through Sifu Dana Wong's Qian Li Dao syllabus. You can learn more about Sifu on our lineage page. We teach Foshan-style Wing Chun, with a number of Sifu's modified applications for the modern world. You'll start out slowly, developing speed and power over time and quickly learning to deflect, redirect and de-stablise opponents larger and stronger than yourself.

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

Get to grips with the fundamentals of this incredible style of ground-based combat and defence. You'll learn the core concepts of structure, grips, guard passing, sweeps and then submissions and counters. We're part of the Valley BJJ network, initially under Norm Hemi and now under black belt Stephen Perry. Come join the extended family of human origami!
