Don’t settle for empty promises from other martial arts schools. Instead choose an instructor with real qualifications, real world experience and knowledge to allow you to reach your potential.

Our classes consist of Seperate Children’s classes and Adult’s Classes in our fully equipped and matted martial arts school (Dojo) which run weekly throughout the year including holidays.

Come and join us, and achieve your black belt in our Ninpo Goshinjutsu martial arts system where you will learn defences from the kind of attacks that are prevalent on the streets today whilst at the same time learning a one thousand year old warrior tradition of the Samurai and Ninja Warriors from feudal Japan.

And whilst learning these fascination arts you will gain fitness, stamina, strength, courage and confidence as well as learning various ancient minds sciences that come from our spiritual traditions of the Yamabushi (Mountain Warriors), Sennin (Taoist Priests and Mystics) and Shinobi (Ninja Families).

That very much depends on you. As a students you will be put on a programme whereby you will progress through the ranks stage by stage. We aim at getting you through your first four ranks within the first year, and then it slows down slightly as the training becomes more in depth. We expect you to achieve your black belt in approximately 4-5 years training two hours per week and attending seminars.
Yes we do. Some people think we have simply made up this art by watching Anime or watching movies. The art itself was handed down by Toshitsugu Takamatsu who passed away in 1972. He passed the art onto Masaaki Hatsumi who is now in his 90s. Since 1985 the chief instructor has been training with teachers from Japan in the arts handed down to them by either Toshitsugu Takamatsu or Masaaki Hatsumi.
Sure. I suggest that if you have any health problems you feel may interfere with training then speak to a doctor first. But we have had people training with a wide variety of disabilities and into their 70s.
At the Warrior Quest Academy our teacher has qualifications in Conflict Management, PMVA (Prevention and Management of Violence and Aggression) and Physical intervention. He has real world experience of street defence being a security trainer and ex police officer and Commendated for using his skills in the arrest of a violent criminal. In the academy you will learn defences from punches, hooks, jabs, headbutts, throws, kicks, knives, sticks and even firearms. Methods employed not just in Ninjutsu but to law enforcement across the world.

My daughter has been coming to the classes twice a week for 4 months now. The value for money is exceptional. Sensei shares his knowledge clearly with the pupils and has high expectations for each of them. As well as the physical/practical skills it has been great to see the discipline creep into other aspects of her life.

My son has been taking classes for about three months now, and he loves it! Beyond just learning self-defense and fighting techniques, he has gained a great deal of life skills. Discipline and perseverance are just two of the many positive attributes we've already started noticing in his behavior. The Sensei is amazing, and his teaching methods are thoughtfully tailored to meet each child’s individual needs. We truly feel blessed to have found this hidden gem called Warrior Quest Martial Arts. Thank you, sensei, for the valuable knowledge you share with these kids! 🙏🏻
