Shinkido Martial Arts

May 14th, 2022

An amazing dojo with a friendly atmosphere and a real focus on the individual. I have been training here for over 5 years now and it has had a huge impact on my fitness, mental health and way of life. Sensei Bruce Payne and everyone at Shinkido are always welcoming and want to help you be the best version of yourself. Great martial arts, great philosophy and a great way to learn a traditional art. There is something for everyone from fitness and self defence to wellbeing and health. I would highly recommend trying a free lesson just to see what Sensei Bruce Payne and everyone at Shinkido can offer.

If you want routine Martial Arts training or want to get into MMA then look elsewhere. This place is all about understanding oneself, the connection between mind and body and how best to gain synergy, expression, confidence, harmony and peace.

Sensei Bruce Payne is an excellent instructor, before we get to his core subject! Not everyone who can, can teach. Mr. Payne, however, excels in both. Whatever your age, ability or physical condition he will enable you to be the best YOU can be, so long as you commit to meeting him half way. I have studied martial arts for over 40 years, and have had the benefit of some wonderful instructors over the years (and one or two less so!), but Bruce takes you deeper into the ART, way past just the physical. He can't do the work for you, but he encourages and guides you on your personal journey.
