Why Train Martial Arts?

This depends on the individual and the reasons can change over time. You may train for fitness, for personal safety, to learn some cool skills, because you want a black belt, for a sense of community, or just because it’s fun. I believe the way we train martial arts at CMA does all of the above, but also makes you better at literally everything else in life. You’ll be fitter, safer, happier, more relaxed, more focused and better able to deal with whatever life throws at you.

Improve your fitness and confidence, relieve stress and learn some practical skills, all in a friendly and safe environment. Mixed Adult classes, Women-Only Self-Defence classes, Youth classes and Corporate classes are all available.

Beginners are very welcome and your first two lessons are free.

  • "I started coming about 5 years ago and I now can't leave! It's not only great exercise, but a community of lovely supportive people who are all passionate about martial arts and just having a fun work-out. Julian as the head is a wealth of knowledge, a top-class teacher and always makes you feel inspired and like you can do anything with a little practice. I hope I'l still be here in another 5 years!"

  • "I have been training here for a few years. CMA is a great place to learn and cultivate your martial arts knowledge. It has a unique blend of ring and self defense mindset that it's impossible to find elsewhere! On top of this, Julian is an amazing instructor, very charming, funny, and knowledgeable."

  • "I've trained at Camden Martial Arts in 2019 before moving away. The first thing I did when coming back to London 4 years ago was return to Julian's class! Julian is a brilliant teacher: very skilled, patient, fun, and able to bring out the best in everyone. The atmosphere of the class is super nice, never seen a bunch of people who gather to learn how to punch be so kind to each other. I strongly recommend!!"

  • "I have been going Julians Club for a number of years, he is a great teacher and will take you through everything you need to know to become a solid Martial Artist. It's a fun and supportive environment to learn, with a good mix of classes. He has built an amazing community who have different reasons for going, if you want to get fit in a fun way, learn practical self defense or become a fully fledged Martial Artist Julian's club Camden Martial Arts is the right place to be."
