The Martial Arts School is a long-running Reading and Wokingham club, founded in 1990 by Sijo Ross Whitby, that teaches what it calls street-based martial arts. Its programme covers kickboxing, MMA, Brazilian jiu-jitsu and no-gi grappling, jiu jitsu, Kung Fu, self defence and weapons work, for adults, children and families. The main base is a leisure centre in Lower Earley, though the school also trains at several other venues around Berkshire, so visitors should confirm where each session is held. Competition teams run in BJJ and no-gi, MMA and kickboxing, and its athletes enter grappling events. Newcomers can book a free taster class.
