My Philosophy
Winchester School Of Martial Arts is a safe place for all to learn in a positive, friendly and encouraging environment. A place where everyone can improve their skills and fitness at their own pace.
Every student is encouraged to reach their own potential rather than directly compete against other students. A student of WSMA learns more than a martial art/Jiu Jitsu - they learn skills that will enable them to be a more positive & successful individual in life.
As a student of WSMA you will learn the traditional values of the Martial Arts, such as self-discipline, respect, balance-in-life as you learn practical Self-defense skills.
