Essex Fighting Arts - Robert Clack Sports Centre

HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT ABOUT LEARNING HOW TO DEFEND YOURSELF? We now live in a world where there are more and more cases of people being attacked, mugged, raped or worse so wouldn't it make sense to have the skills to fight back when things do go bad? Surely learning an effective fighting art purely designed for the street has to be your first thought don't you think? How would you defend yourself in an attack with no weapons? How would you defend yourself if they had a knife or a bat/lump of wood or gun? Is it not better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6 and live to justify your actions? If these are some of the questions buzzing around in your head then maybe Essex Fighting Arts is where you should looking for your answers... First introductory lesson is always FREE so if you are interested then read on...


Mixed martial arts is an excellent way to stay fit & motivated while learning the skills needed to survive in our ever changing society. At Essex Fighting Arts we teach various techniques from Filipino Kali including panantukan, pangamot, dumog, stick & knife. But also elements of Jun Fan Gung Fu, Ju Jitsu and other effective systems. This adult mixed martial arts class is not taught as a sport but with self-protection and self defence in mind.
I am very proud that we have a relaxed, friendly & welcoming atmosphere and this is something I feel very strongly about maintaining. I am very particular when taking on new students as they have to reflect the same ethos and attitude my existing students have. If there is a potential to disrupt the group or individuals within the class, then EFA would not be for them. People that come to our club, feel at ease to train and learn with no pressure or external influences that could hamper their progress. This makes for a happy student, productive sessions and excellent acquisition of skills...
