Foot Martial Arts

Foot Martial Arts is a renowned martial arts school located in Yeovil, New Zealand. With over 20 years of experience, the school is dedicated to imparting knowledge and providing high-quality instruction in various martial arts disciplines. The head coach, Nick Foot, holds a fifth-degree black belt in ju-jutsu and black belts in three other martial arts, as well as coaching certification in several modern self-defence systems.

At Foot Martial Arts, the goal is to help students develop and enhance their skills, pushing them to be the best they can be. They offer a diverse range of classes tailored to different age groups and skill levels. One of their popular classes is the Nine Inch Ninjas, designed for children aged between 5 to 10. In this class, students learn self-defence techniques, ju-jutsu, and kick-boxing, while also building their fitness and confidence.

These 60-minute classes create a positive and nurturing environment for young learners.

For teens and adults, they offer the Hybrid Ju-Jutsu and FMA Kick-Boxing classes. Hybrid Ju-Jutsu is a modern system of self-defence that incorporates proven methods of the samurai. Students learn techniques for control and defence in any situation. FMA Kick-Boxing, on the other hand, is a hybrid method of stand-up fighting that can be utilised for both self-defence in the streets and competitive sport in the ring.

This class combines techniques from boxing, kick-boxing, Thai boxing, and JKD for an effective martial arts system.

Additionally, Foot Martial Arts offers the JKD and Kali Concepts class, which is a blend of styles originating from the late Bruce Lee and Guru Dan Inosanto. This class focuses on self-defence and incorporates different techniques and principles from various martial arts disciplines.

The school is committed to providing quality instruction and can even design bespoke classes based on the needs of workplaces or personal safety. These customised classes are available for small groups or individuals.

Not only does Foot Martial Arts serve its students, but it also supports the community. They have conducted a series of free self-defence sessions for the staff at Yeovil District Hospital, showcasing their dedication to promoting safety and well-being beyond the walls of the school.

With convenient opening hours throughout the week, including classes at Caryford Hall and Unit 3 Alexandra Court, individuals of all ages and skill levels can find suitable class options. Whether you are looking to build confidence, improve fitness, or learn effective self-defence techniques, Foot Martial Arts offers a welcoming and supportive environment.
