It was February 1998 and Bristol Martial Arts Academy Founder & Chief Instructor Chris Beaumont took the plunge and started training in martial arts. The ‘bug’ that grasps so many people got hold and he was soon training four times a week. This soon turned into a passion that would become his full time job for the rest of his life…<\/p>\n
Inspired by the energy, passion and commitment of his fellow students, he broke away from a ‘normal job’ and founded Bristol Martial Arts Academy shortly after achieving his first black belt in August 2001<\/p>\n
Our award winning martial arts training programmes have provided a
\nstrong base to allow the academy to grow into a community strong hold<\/p>\n
Our classes first started in school gyms and church halls across Bristol<\/p>\n
After 6 month’s we moved into our first full time facility in Brislington…<\/p>\n
We moved into our purposed designed Hengrove academy in September 2009 to provide a more spacious training facility for all our members
\nand their families.<\/p>\n
Bristol Martial Arts Academy has a large lounge and viewing area with free WI-FI, leather chairs & settees, baby changing facilities, snack and drink vending machines and a play area for younger siblings.<\/p>\n
