Dojo - Silversprings Purpose Built Martial Arts Studio

The club has the use of an excellent purpose-built martial arts studio (Dojo) and is equipped with plenty of training aids. Our Club Instructor, Sensei Paul Allan (7th Dan), has been training for many decades and provides an excellent level of teaching.
