The word 'martial' derives from the name of Mars, the Roman god of war. The term 'Martial Arts' literally means arts of war. However, today, the many codified systems for training for combat are used as a great way of keeping fit, strong and improving reflexes. They also help with self discipline and see restraint and respect as a virtue, in addition to the obvious advantages of being trained to defend yourself.

In Aquaterra's sports centres there are studios, dojos and halls available to hire to independent martial arts clubs and schools. We are currently home to a huge range of clubs including judo, kick boxing, Jiu Jitsu, Tae Kwondo, Karate and Ki Aikido to name a few.

See the links on the left hand side to find out which clubs operate at each centre.
