The OCFM Martial Arts Schools offer various programmes to suit Martial Artists of all ages and experience. From the very beginner through to the seasoned fighter, all are welcome and all will find the OCFM School a great place to train.

Learning is the key to Martial Arts. Developing your skills is what really matters. Fitness (although very important) comes second to skills.

With the abundance of MMA / Grappling etc that is going on now, too many people are getting in the ring and fighting because they are simply fit and strong and have learnt a few skills. This is foolish beyond belief and potentially dangerous.

Learn your skills properly. Take your time to learn and learn well. Then, when you really are ready to fight, take 12-18 weeks to get fit and begin your fighting career.

If you are training for fun (as do 99.99% of us) then your fitness will improve rapidly whilst you are learning your skills.

Programs

Pre - Juniors

This is an exciting educational program designed to enhance the life skills that your child requires, whilst at the same time helping your child to become fitter, more disciplined and to avoid peer pressure through our unique Martial Arts Training Program.

Martial Arts training simply serves as a vehicle to instil values and skills that children can put to use outside of the Martial Arts School. Skills like: Self-Confidence, Self-Control, and Positive Thinking; Listening Skills, Respect and Good Manners. The Ability to Focus Attention; Perseverance and Courage. The core of martial arts stresses the vital importance of a healthy mind and body necessary to lead a productive life.

Juniors

This program benefits from all of the above with a stronger emphasis on the physical training.

In fact it is almost exactly the same as the adult Program, with a few minor omissions to ensure correct levels of safety and due dilligence for this particular age group.

This type of training program has proven to help Juniors in all areas of their life whilst at the same time promoting great Martial Arts Skills.

Again it is important to stress the fact that all our Coaches are fully qualified to teach children of all ages (even you Mums and Dads!)

Seniors

This training is geared towards those who want to achieve, keep and prolong a good solid healthy lifestyle. You will learn all the skills and techniques of a Fighter but within the safety guidelines that you would expect.

It has been proven that this type of training can help you burn up to 900 Calories in one HOUR!

Whilst we acknowledge that most people do not want to be a fighter, we are firm believers in the fact that if you train like a fighter, you will possess most of those skills that a fighter requires to succeed at the highest levels, without the risks!

So, everyone trains within this framework. We all train together, obviously some at different intensities to others, but within that true team spirit that we should all enjoy.

Your health and safety is paramount. To that end, all our Coaches are fully qualified and rigorously checked on an ongoing basis, to ensure the highest possible standards.
