It is also our ambition to offer a real sense of progression and learning to all our students through inter-club competition and the grading syllabus. We are a high quality, friendly and dedicated club. Our beliefs are inextricably linked to those of Grand Master Sken and his MSA organisation for more information go to http://www.mastersken.com/.
