Meiji Martial Arts (St Johns Wood)
Not managed on Matador yetJiu JitsuKickboxingKrav MagaBoxing
Meiji Martial Arts is an independent, family-run London academy, and this St John's Wood dojo is its boutique lower-ground space, with classes deliberately kept small. It teaches kickboxing, Brazilian jiu-jitsu and Krav Maga to children, young people and adults, alongside a fitness-focused boxing class for adult beginners. Younger students are grouped by age band, and a dedicated beginners' kickboxing class helps newcomers get started. Belt gradings and graduations are held through the club's events programme. The academy was founded and is led by Sensei Denise Bailey, a 7th Dan World and European Champion, and also runs a second dojo at Temple Fortune.
