Adults Classes
Our adult classes are organised very differently to the Children’s classes in that they teach a number of traditional martial arts schools (Ryu Ha) that originate from the teachings of the Samurai, Sohei (Warrior Monks) and Shinobi (Ninja). As a student you will be taught the techniques (Waza) and Patterns (kata) of the individual systems and how to make them work in the 21st century. We call this “Goshinjutsu” which means the Japanese art of self defence.
With direct experience of conflict when working in security and law enforcement as well as qualifications in Conflict Resolution Management and Physical Intervention the Northampton Warrior Quest Martial Arts Academy offers real world self protection martial arts and combatives. We have spent years delivering self protection skills to clients such as The British Army, The Police, The NHS, Private Security Organisations and private individuals.
The sylabus we teach is based on defences from the most common types of attack one will encounter on the street. The hook punch, the head butt, the lapel grab, the knife stab.
In the Warrior Quest Academy you will work on pads to develop power and focus in your strikes, you will work on knife disarm skills against an attacker, you will work on developing a number of escape skills from grabs that will become second nature to you, and you will take part in a number of self defence scenarios which we set up for you to experience what really happens on the street in a real conflict situation. On top of this we will teach you about the law in regard to self defence, your rights in law, how to de-escalate conflict using conflict management skills.
Overall our self defence package, or what we call “Goshinjutsu” is a fully rounded modern combat method that originated on the battlefields of old Japan and has now evolved for the 21st Century to keep you safe, and take the control of any violent situation.
Goshinjutsu is also based on a number of psychological and metaphysical models that have been proven to work time and time again, not just in times of physical conflict but in the conflicts we have in our everyday lives. These may be conflicts of interest with your associates, partners or even with ourselves. You will learn through this package to develop courage, determination, endurance, and the ability to skillfully operate in the world. In fact the very skills our Warrior Forefathers knew and is the meaning of the term “Ninpo”.
