Sobukan Martial Arts

Sensei Chris Gilles is an amazing instructor and is also great with kids. I attend the adults class regularly (I have no martial arts background) and feel both challenged and supported in my learning in every lesson. My two kids also attend Sobukids and have a great time.

A wonderful welcoming place to train, a great culture of respect, knowledge and humor, i enrolled my kids to begin with and was blown away by chris, who has that special knack with kids of enthusiasm, friendly engaging communication and gentle discipline that the kids just absorb with a smile And i have since joined in also and have thoroughly enjoyed the great atmosphere & enjoying every minute. if your looking for somewhere for your kids or yourself to train with great knowledge, no ego & lots of fun while learning from top notch instructors subokan is the place

I have trained at Sobukan since 2015. I had trained in several styles before commencing here and found that i was able to unify my prior training within the framework of Sobukan's syllabus. I cannot speak highly enough of this club. The comprehensive system covers several styles and succeeds in providing the students with the ability not only to defend themselves, but to grow as martial artists and human beings. I could train with Sensei Chris for the rest of my life and never run out of things to learn from him. If you want to learn a effective self defence system within a supportive environment this is the place for you.

I strongly recommend this club for all ages. It has a separate kids session and the adults are from a wide age and fitness background. I have started at over the age of 45 and loving it.

One of the most comprehensive martial arts I've trained in. Covering striking, throws, ground and self defence. The instructor is very knowledgeable and it's a great community where everyone is welcome and progresses at their own pace.
