Our Martial Ethos

Discover the martial ethos of the UKKFF

Discover the different elements which make up the complete picture of UKKFF martial arts.

If you’re considering coming to train & study proper martial arts with the UKKFF, why not first see if you agree with our way of thinking, and the approach we take towards understanding the realities of violence? Our martial ethos explains the thinking behind our choice of martial disciplines, where our focus is at during training, and why we do what we do.

In a nutshell, our martial ethos can be summed up in the following statements:

  1. Learn from the past, look towards the future.
  2. Keep everything as simple as possible, but no simpler.
  3. Ensure everything is relevant to the present.
  4. Ensure everything is correct, and everything works.

In-Class Escrima Workshop

On Thursday 8th March 2012, we will be running a special in-class Escrima Workshop at UKKFF Kingston-Upon-Thames.

This event will take place between 20.00 – 22.00 during the usual Thursday evening Escrima General Class, and is open to all members who are currently studying Escrima with us.

The workshop will be led by Instructor Wayne Tappin 3TG, and will focus upon giving more detail upon the core syllabus of the Escrima Concepts Weapons System in preparation for the end-of-term assessments a few weeks later (on 24th March).

There is a £10 charge per-person for this workshop, which will reimburse Wayne for his tuition, his petrol, and his time in driving the 250-mile round trip from Clacton to visit us.

This fee may be paid in cash on the evening, or ideally in advance via debit/credit card using our event pre-booking service, which will save us time on the day.

We look forward to seeing many of our Escrimadors along at Kingston for a good session with Wayne.
