We know that martial arts training not only strengthens the body but also disciplines the mind. That's why we call our academy Menssana Martial Arts, from the Latin expression mens sana in corpore sano — "a healthy mind in a healthy body".
Our programmes are built on these four pillars:
STRENGTH
Martial arts training is a fun and exciting way to develop fitness, balance, coordination and agility. Our classes include exercises designed to build strength in five areas: upper body, lower body, core, cardio and flexibility.
SAFETY
We teach children how to prevent and respond to bullying, how to avoid "stranger danger," and how to be safe in the event of a fire. Our adult classes teach practical self-defence skills that are easy and effective regardless of gender.
SERVICE
We are committed to serving our community. Our classes are available to all interested students without discrimination, and throughout the year we provide free safety and self-defence seminars to the residents of West Oxfordshire.
SUCCESS
Our classes teach skills for success in school and beyond: goal-setting, focus, perseverance, self-discipline, confidence, respect and more.
"My son has developed important life skills such as self control, focus and how to plan for achieving goals — all while having lots of fun kicking, jumping, sparring and competing. He loves doing Taekwondo and has enormous respect for Master Schreiber who seems to command respect effortlessly. The benefits of having a creative outlet that focuses on moral values and promotes physical fitness that my son feels passionate about are immeasurable!" - Sarah O.
