Still buzzing after an incredible kenjutsu seminar yesterday at Exeter Martial Arts ⚔️

Huge thanks to Catterick Sensei for sharing such detailed and thought-provoking insights, especially on the use of the short sword and tanto against a long sword.

So many subtle principles that really change how you see distance, timing, and intent.

Grateful for the opportunity to learn, train, and be pushed to think deeper about the art. Already looking forward to the next one.

Huge congratulations to our two new 2nd Dans, Gareth Sensei and Simon Sensei 🙌
Proud to see them wearing their new 2nd Dan level gi. A well-earned milestone that reflects years of dedication, discipline, and hard work. An incredible achievement for both, and an inspiration to everyone in the club 💪

Strong, confident, and unstoppable 💥
A huge well done to all the incredible women who are taking part in our 3-week self-defence course. Over the past few weeks, you’ve pushed boundaries, built confidence, and learned skills that go far beyond the mats.
It’s been inspiring to watch you grow stronger, physically and mentally, while supporting each other every step of the way. 💪

Thank you for bringing such great energy and commitment to every session.

And a special thank you to Neve Hall for delivering such an empowering and impactful course.

This is just the beginning 🔥

Great classes last night in Traditional Jiu Jitsu.

We pushed intensity, increased realism, and started exploring strategy when dealing with multiple attackers.
Positioning, awareness, and decision-making under pressure.

This is where training really starts to come alive.

Well done everyone 👊
