Little Ninjas

Little Ninja classes are held at Eclipse twice a week and have been specially designed for 4, 5 and 6 year olds to enhance positive development in a motivating and fun way. The classes aim to develop balance, co-ordination, control, discipline, fitness, focus, memory and teamwork through fun games and a merit badge system

Kids Classes

Martial arts have been widely recognised as being a superb positive influence in a child's character development, promoting fitness, raising self-awareness and improving self confidence.

The whole philosophy of martial arts teaches children to realise the rewards that come from hard work and perserverance, giving your child a great sense of achievement and confidence to excel.

Womens Classes

Eclipse Martial Arts Academy offers a friendly and welcoming environment for female-only kickboxing, modern free-style karate and self defence classes, which are suitable for all abilities. Members attending these classes will improve cardio-vascular fitness, strength, balance, co-ordination, flexibility and self-confidence.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Classes

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is predominantly a ground fighting art which focuses on submission holds with joint locks and chokeholds. In this way a smaller and weaker person may overcome a larger opponent as their advantages are neutralised when fighting on the ground. The classes are superb for self-defence whilst developing discipline, humility, respect, self-esteem, body awareness, balance and self-esteem.
