WELCOME TO COMBAT DOJO, KENT

Combat Dojo is the culmination of years of study and research into a number of weapon based martial arts. It is also the consolidation of a number of different dojos focused on different arts. At Combat Dojo, you will find both Japanese sword arts from the 15th century and German medieval weapon arts from the late 14th century.

We also have more modern day combatives training include a modern take on Victorian Mixed Martial Art (MMA), Bartitsu, World War Two combatives training system of WE Fairbairn , and we run a study group for tactical firearms training under the teachings of GROM UK.


Why Combat Dojo?

  • We look at the practicality of historical martial arts
  • We study based on manuscript and interpretation
  • All our study is focussed on how it would work and how it can be applied
  • All of our training in these arts overlap
