Chris Kent has been teaching in Brighton since 1975. He became known in Sussex for quality instruction in both Wado Ryu Style Karate and Full Contact Kickboxing. As with most martial arts clubs, teaching for Chris started in a range of church halls and leisure centres. As the groups of children and adults being taught expanded, it became necessary to open a full time dojo.
In 1982 the Lewes Road dojo was opened and has continued there ever since. Chris is still teaching Karate and Kickboxing at the Lewes Road dojo. Chris Kent and Tiffany Williams manage Kicks Martial Arts and the team of qualified instructors who run clubs in Peacehaven, Newhaven, Eastbourne and London.

Karate
Report
Wado-Ryu Karate is a Japanese martial art founded by Hironori Ohtsuka Sensei in 1934. Ohtsuka Sensei developed Wado-Ryu after studying the Samurai martial art of Jiu-jitsu, and Shotokan (another style of Karate). This combination, according to Ohstuka Sensei, is a softer, more natural means of self-protection.
Kickboxing
Report
Kickboxing originated in the mid-seventies in America under the guidance of the PKA (Professional Karate Association). It was initiated as a result of the frustration felt by many martial artists with the Karate Tournament Circuit. Initially known as Full Contact Karate with most of the original champions coming from a Karate background; Bill "Superfoot" Wallace, Joe Lewes, Benny "The Jet" Ugiduez it increasingly came to be known as kickboxing.

Ishigaki Ju-Jitsu
Report
Ju-Jitsu is the oldest documented form of Japanese martial art. The word 'Ju' means gentle, supple or yield, while 'Jitsu' means art or skill; thus 'Ju-jitsu' is known as the gentle skill or art of yielding. If it is new to you, it is not unlike judo. It is a system of throws, locks, blocks, strikes and kicks.
Aikido
Report
Aikido is an intricate, intriguing and effective martial art, the name literally translating as the "Way of Harmony." It was founded by Morihei Ueshiba, one of the most inspirational and legendary figures in the long history of the martial arts and has the resolution of conflict rather than the destruction of an opponent as its objective.
