About Martial House WGKA
Martial House WGKA has been operating from the current premises of 12 B May Rd for approximately 30 years. Curriculum, content and method of delivery together with the history and knowledge of Goju Ryu is paramount to training at Martial House. Our mission is to provide quality tuition in a safe environment where students will acquire self-defence skills, high level concentration and discipline to develop successful strategies that are transferable to school, home, work and relationships. We do this by creating an environment where students develop passion and resilience as the source for developing Grit to ultimately achieving their life goals.
"Grit"
Reference to Grit on this website is from the book of the same title by Angela Duckworth.
What Students Get From Training
We deliver a curriculum for students to develop skills and strategies throughout all aspects of life so that they become successful in all they set out to achieve. This means that the method of delivery:
- Will help young children and young adults get better grades at school and university
- Will help working people lift their performance at work and extend their working life generally
- Will help students develop "Grit and Drive", so that they can persevere through any challenges life presents them with courage and determination
Respect & Appreciation
Students are taught martial arts etiquette, good manners and that to be respected they must themselves show adults, teachers, friends, family and important people the highest level of respect.
We refer to our memberships as educational training memberships for all ages.
How We Transfer the Success in Martial Arts to Life
When we teach we link students’ training on matts with the students school, work or leisure activities, for example:
- Maximum effort in training leads to fitness and strength, which will help the students to train their mind to think faster, get work completed quicker, think clearly and solve problems
- The numerous basics, movements, katas and bunkais increase memory capacity and consequently help in higher retention to help students with studies
- Students constantly get up and perform in front of large groups of people for pre-testing, grading, public demonstrations and tournaments. This allows them to develop the skills, strategy and confidence necessary for public speaking at school and gatherings.
- The self-defence that students learn in the mock attacks performed after many years of training, give them the strategies and confidence to defend themselves in public and minimise the risk of bullying.
- The psychological benefits gained from the way students apply themselves to training, the numerous physical movements and the constant stream of new movements keep the mind and body constantly engaged and fresh. They absorb the movements as they progress up the ranks, allowing them to continuously grow until a very old age so that they remain happy and productive members of society.
