Xen-Do Martial Arts

Sensei Isaac Neal

🥋 1st Dan
♉ Ta**us
🎬 Stunt Man

Sensei Isaac found Xen-Do back in September 2020 after a Google search for kickboxing gyms in London… and the rest is history!
He took his free trial at our Mayfair dojo and trained relentlessly to achieve his goal of Brown Belt — the requirement for the stunt register 🎥💥

But once he caught the Xen-Do bug… there was no stopping him! 🔥 He kept training week after week, growing into the Sensei Isaac we know today. He went on to achieve his 1st Dan with Master Raf and is now a great addition to the Xen-Do team.

His favourite part of the job?⚡ Teaching a big class and feeling that incredible energy in the room!

🎬 Fun Fact: Sensei Isaac worked as a stuntman on productions such as 28 Years Later, The Witcher, House of the Dragon (S3), The Beatles and many more

It’s going to be very hot today, so please make sure you’re drinking plenty of water before, during and after training.

All dojos will have the A/C on and windows open to keep things as cool and comfortable as possible, but staying hydrated is really important.

Please bring a full water bottle to class and keep sipping throughout the day. 💧

Stay cool, stay hydrated, and see you in the dojo! 🥊

Another successful Grading Week! 🎉
A huge congratulations to all our students who earned their new belts! 👏Your hard work, determination and commitment have paid off — wear those belts with pride! 💪

Dai Master Rafael – the founder of Xen-Do and the driving force behind our “Fit for Life” philosophy. 🥋

Training since 1972, he’s a four-time British WAKO Champion, World and European Champion, former British Team Coach, and a respected leader in martial arts. His 15 years as a London firefighter shaped the disciplined mindset he brings to every lesson.

Today, he continues to mentor our instructors, inspiring the next generation to become stronger, more confident, and fit for life—both on and off the mats.
