Kyushindo Martial Arts Association

Kyushindo is a martial art that takes its influence from traditional Japanese styles such as Shotokan and Wado Ryu karate and Judo, as well as from the flowing forms of Chinese 'soft style' arts, principally Tai Chi and Baguazhang. We emphasize effective techniques rather than using physical strength, trained in a safe environment by knowledgeable and experienced instructors. There is a strong focus on partnered work to learn to safely and skillfully apply the techniques, but we do not engage in full-contact or semi-contact sparring or competitions. Classes are available in various locations including Reading, Abingdon, Oxford, Didcot, and Faringdon.
