About us

About Example Martial Arts

Example Martial Arts has been teaching traditional martial arts in Torquay for close to two decades, with a small team of instructors who train and teach alongside each other every week.

The club started in a single hired hall with a handful of students and has grown steadily through word of mouth rather than any real advertising. We deliberately kept classes small as we grew, adding more sessions rather than cramming more students into each one.

Every instructor teaching at the club holds a current qualification within our style and a valid DBS check where they work with children. Several instructors have trained together for more than a decade and most started as students at this club themselves.

We still run the same traditional syllabus the club was founded on, with clear grading standards that have not been watered down over the years. Students and parents of younger students tell us this consistency is one of the main reasons they trust the club with their training.

How we work

What you can expect from us

01

Traditional standards

Grading is earned, not given and the syllabus has stayed consistent since the club began.

02

Instructors who train too

Every instructor still trains regularly themselves, not just teaches.

03

A club, not a franchise

We are independently run and answer to our students, not a head office.

What our customers say

★★★★★

My son has trained here for three years and the change in his confidence has been remarkable. The instructors are strict but fair and he has huge respect for them.

I came back to training after a ten year gap expecting to feel out of place. Instead the instructors picked up exactly where I left off and made the whole process easy.

The self defence course gave me far more confidence than I expected from six weeks of classes. I ended up joining the main club afterwards and have not looked back.
