Club History
Kingston-Upon-Thames is an historic market town situated on the river between Richmond & Thames Ditton. We opened our second martial arts school here in 2002 under the instruction of Sifu Lee Paul Heron, shortly after he began teaching martial arts as a full-time profession.

For almost two years our classes were located in the Market House (a beautiful Tudor building at the centre of the Apple Market, which now holds the local tourist information centre) however the school slowly grew to fill the available space, and in November 2003 we relocated to the United Reformed Church in Kingston town centre, next to Eden Walk shopping centre.

Although this new space was large enough, sadly the facilities were less than ideal. After years of patient enquiries we finally managed to relocate the club to a proper Sports Centre at Tiffin School in January 2009, where we remain to the present day.

In September 2010 we changed training days to exclude Mondays (so Bank Holidays no longer affect our classes) and also relocated our main Escrima class to Kingston too, during a major reorganisation of UKKFF clubs, days & training times. The club remains extremely popular and still continues to serve the needs of our growing membership.
