Our Values

It’s not about how fast you can earn your belt or how good you are with your hands and feet it's not even about how often you train - but how you train. It's about learning, understanding, experiencing and stepping out of your comfort zone. In fact, belt grades are so low on our list of priorities that we seldom talk about them - why?

Well, train with us and you’ll learn the answer. Come and learn why martial arts isn’t self-defence and how life skills based on awareness, confidence and self-esteem make you less of a target for unprovoked violence.

And most importantly, learn why being able to walk away is just as important as knowing how to punch, kick, throw or wrestle someone. ACS Martial Arts is different, we think different and we play different, how different? Come and join us and find out why ....
