Training for the love of the arts, not the need for your money


Thornbury Area Martial Arts is a collection of clubs where the instructors all share a common purpose of providing top quality martial arts training at good value for money.

We teach martial arts because we enjoy it, not to make money from it. That way we are able to maintain the quality of our training without sacrificing our standards. No contracts, no gimmicks, no marketing tricks. Just good quality martial arts training and reasonable charges.

So, whether you are looking for Chinese, Japanese or Korean styles of martial arts, our clubs will treat you as someone out to learn and not purely as a source of income.


Frontline Martial Arts

Frontline Martial Arts provide classes for children (from 4 years of age) and adults (any age!), practicing mainly Korean style martial arts (Taekwondo, Tang Soo Do, Hapkido) but we also incorporate influences from many other styles of martial arts.

We are a community based, family club, run on a not-for-profit basis. Our emphasis is on learning effective martial arts and self-defence in a fun and supportive environment.

Above all, you will have fun doing it. Smiling is definitely encouraged!
