Martial Arts Classes In North Dorset

We’re just getting started, but will quickly become a focal point for Martial Arts in North Dorset. We’re on a mission to open a dedicated, fully matted Martial Arts Centre in Sturminster Newton. The venue will be home to clubs of all styles, allowing local instructors to train their students in the very best facilities. In the meantime you’ll get great TaeKwon-Do, Iaido and Kenjutsu instruction, all from Unity.

Testimonials

Mr Bell
ITA TaeKwon-Do
“Always focused and disciplined”

”I trained with Mr Ryu 20+ years ago. He was always one of the most dedicated students in the school. He'd be there every day, first in to sweep the floor and the first to volunteer. I'm so pleased he's teaching the next generation.”

Mrs Ellis
Parent
“Genuine and Very Patient”

”My heavily autistic son struggles with social skills and any change. I first met Mr Ryu when he had a STEM education centre and the council thought we needed some help with STEM. He was the first to 'crack' him and we still stay in contact all these years later! He just has this very kind and patient way with kids.”
