What is Xen-Do?

Xen-Do is a way of life based on an authentic and historic Martial Art that can be traced back to the first Shaolin Monks, you can learn more about this on our Club History page.

Xen-Do is a mixture of karate, oriental kicking and punching and western boxing. It combines self-defence, aerobic workout, flexibility, coordination and speed.

Xen-Do now attracts a very large female following, as women now assert not only their financial but also their physical independence.

Xen-Do gives women a unique mental strength and awareness of their environment that provides the ability to defend themselves, their children and their property.

What do I need to bring to my first lesson?

Enthusiasm and energy, you are going to enjoy your Xen-Do experience!

Wear loose clothing – tracksuit trousers and a t-shirt are best, plus a clean pair of socks. Also bring a towel and a bottle of water.

Children under 16 must be accompanied by a parent or gardian to their first lesson.

What happens in a class and will I get hurt?

At Xen-Do we follow Dai Master Rafael's 'Fearless Way', this means that everyone at every level can participate without fear or trepidation.

Classes begin with a thorough full-body stretch; once properly warmed up students learn basic kicks, punches and combinations followed by attack and defence techniques practised with a partner.

The classes are non-contact, so there is no risk of getting hurt and the sessions last approximately 1 hour. Separate classes are available for students who wish to practice technical movements with a partner.

We also offer personal (small group) and private (individual) classes.

What sort of people practice?

Martial Arts are suitable for men and women of all ages, sizes and all levels of fitness, the best time for children to start is from 4 years. People who practice Martial Arts are those seeking to challenge themselves, find their limitations and develop beyond them whilst having a great deal of fun. Xen-Do is a fantastic community where many new friends are made.

Why Martial Arts?

Martial Arts are more than just exercise. They are primarily a form of self-defence and a great source from which to gain personal confidence. Martial Arts can help you avoid threatening situations or enable you to effectively deal with them if unavoidable, being prepared can make all the difference. Xen-DO in particular provides an excellent opportunity for social interaction in a fun, safe and very exciting environment.

I am already graded in another Martial Art how can Xen-Do benefit me?

Fantastic! Come and see us soon and let us show you. Xen-Do is a more comprehensive Martial Art using more techniques and providing more of a work out.
