Senior Instructor with 30 years experience of teaching Martial Arts


Unlike many clubs, we take a holistic approach to martial arts, they should be studied to enhance your physical abilities, and to promote health as well as fitness.
"I started at Shin Gi Tai after my daughter had been going for 6 months. I liked the idea of having a personal challenge as well as being able to encourage my daughter. The instructors are friendly and really helpful. I would recommend Shin Gi Tai to anyone looking to learn self defence or a new physical challenge"



We are Shin Gi Tai Martial Arts Academy - Because not all Martial Arts clubs are created equal



"I wish I had taken up Karate 40+ years ago."
