Our instructors are full-time professionals who are fully insured, licenced and qualified in first-aid. Our members are also insured (please call for further details).

Xen-Do is totally flexible - you can attend group classes, personal training sessions or a combination of the two. With no joining fee you can build a health plan that is based around your lifestyle, goals and budget. We also offer special student rates.

Xen-Do translated from Japanese means 'All Paths' and originates from the traditional Karate style of Wado-Ryu and Mu-Gen-Do, a synthesis of European and Eastern martial arts.

The term Wado-Ryu means 'Way of Harmony' indicating that the intention was to use training as a means of solving problems in a non-violent way. Mu-Gen-Do means 'the Unlimited Way', a system that is not fixed and remains open to new ideas and techniques.

In keeping with this, Xen-Do is not bound by tradition, which means it is constantly evolving. It isn't just physical in nature - it represents the development of the mind, body and spirit in a continuous cycle.
