Our Facilities


You will be able to take full advantage of our purpose fitted dedicated professional Martial Arts training centre with its own café and waiting area where you can watch the classes taking place. As a Dojo (the name for a training hall in Japanese Martial Arts) or Kwoon (the name for a training hall in Chinese Martial Arts, this can also mean a place for peace and harmony)

Training Area


Our training area is fitted with specialist Judo Tatami flooring covering an area 14m wide x 18m long. This allows our members to train much more safely on a clean cushioned floor that is designed specifically for the purpose it is being used for, rather than having to hope for the best when using village halls and the like which are hired out to many different users. Judo Tatamis are used instead of lower cost Jigsaw mats because they provide the highest quality of slip resistant cellular base with a polyester reinforcement and a superb laminating process which bonds it more strongly to the foam, for a longer life.

Most Martial Arts are practiced in bare feet so having a clean and safe floor is essential for safe practice. We can guarantee ours always will be, something which is not so easy when using non-specialist facilities. Having our own dedicated premises allows us to offer you more classes and guarantees that we can operate to the highest levels of health and safety.

Waiting Area


Our Basingstoke Martial Arts club provides an indoor waiting area with over thirty comfortable chairs to watch classes from plus tables and chairs to sit at in our café area.

Our café serves hot and cold drinks plus snacks, many parents take advantage of these facilities by staying to watch their children enjoying their training, whilst they relax, they can read a magazine or have a coffee and cake.

Unlike many clubs, we actively encourage parents to stay and watch what their children are doing in class and the fun that they are having. We’ve found that the kids in our Karate , Kung Fu and Judo classes also enjoy having their parents take an active interest in their sport, even from time to time, joining in a Martial Arts classes with them.
