AG's Martial Arts Centre

This year has seen a dramatic upgrade of the back room that I now call The Cabin. Seriously, it's better than any room in my house. It's a place I could sit in for hours, reading books or chatting with great folks. The split photo shows how it looked in 1999 before the separating wall was put in place. the lower photo was how the room looked from 2005 to 2020.
It sets the yin-yang up perfectly. Yang: the training area. Yin: The Cabin.

Recent views. With the dark nights now here, welcome to the brightest, friendliest, best-equipped centre dedicated to martial arts training in the Kettering region.
From 2000 square feet of training area to the Cabin with its five sofas and bookshelves, you're going to feel at home.
Training times: Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday.
Juniors: 6pm to 6.30pm
UFS (adults): 6.40pm to 7.55pm
Kickboxing: 8pm to 9pm (Tuesday and Thursday)

We're proud of our training heritage, but equally proud of the amazing building. Things have been changing over the weekend, but will anyone notice?

Classes are on this evening, but please note times
Junior classes: 6pm to 6.30pm - as normal
UFS adults: 6.35pm to 7.40pm. We start five minutes early and finish fifteen minutes earlier than normal for those that want to watch the England match time to get home. Or listen to the beginning on the magnificent Radio 5 Live.
Good luck England.

You don't see it the way I do. At peace. No chaos. No noise. No laughter. No sweat. No pain. No exhilaration. Just as is.
Do you share the memories? Richard Bustillo talking about Bruce Lee or showing us how to box. Do you remember the black belt sparring tests? Were you there the night Lauren split her trousers? Or when Lianne hung upside down? Do you remember the old mats? When we decorated the place in poppies? Were you here when Master Ken nearly killed us with laughter? Or the joy of the IMB Conferences.
What are your memories of this place, this second home?
Do you miss it when you're sat home? Do you still feel the tang of anticipation as you walk those stairs? What do you love about this special place?

Gr***de bars have arrived. Definitely better for you than Kit Kats and Mars bars. Something for after your workout, not before.

It's the simple things that make life easy. Drinks in stock. Bag gloves in stock. Sticks coming next week and Gr***de bars as well.
