Award Winning Martial Arts Training Programmes

Where It All Began...
Award Winning Martial Arts Training ProgrammesFor Adults & Children From 4yrs
Where It All Began...
It was February 1998 and Bristol Martial Arts Academy Founder & Head Coach Chris Beaumont took the plunge and started training in martial arts. The 'bug' that grasps so many people got hold and he was soon training four times a week
This soon turned into a passion that would become his full time job for the rest of his life...
Inspired by the energy, passion and commitment of his fellow students, he broke away from a 'normal job' and founded Bristol Martial Arts Academy shortly after achieving his first black belt in August 2001
Our award winning martial arts training programmes have provided a solid base to allow the academy to grow into a community strong hold
Our classes first started in school gyms and church halls across Bristol. After 6 month's we moved into our first full time facility in Brislington...
Brislington Academy
In August 2004, we moved into our very first purpose-built academy. This milestone represented the start of a new era, as we finally had a space specifically designed to meet the needs of our members and elevate the martial arts experience
For the next five years, our academy became a hub of energy, growth, and camaraderie. Members of all ages walked through those doors and found a space where they could challenge themselves, build confidence, and become part of an ever-growing supportive martial arts community
