Master Slaters History
read moreIf you are looking for an activity for you and your family you have come to the right place. We offer classes suitable for people 13 years of age plus. He has competed in competitions for over 25 years in the main disciplines of sparring, patterns and destruction. Winning gold, silver and bronze medals. Master Slater has appeared in numerous magazine articles and wrote the forward for world famous set of books ‘The Encyclopedia of Taekwon-do Patterns' by Stuart Anslow and appears in Volume 3 demonstrating some of the most senior Taekwondo patterns for students to learn and practice from.
Disciplines
read moreThey are the ‘putting together' of individual techniques to practice and perfect the techniques and form the art. The life of a human being, perhaps 100 years can be considered as a day when compared with eternity. Therefore, we mortals are no more than simple travellers who pass by the eternal years of an eon in a day. I have known Master Slater for over two decades now, I run clubs in Hertfordshire and have Master Slater conduct seminars for us. I have spent 35 years in the art but Master Slater always impresses.
Sparring
read moreYou can hit pads as hard and for as long as you like, but nothing beats defending and attacking a moving opponent who is also trying to hit you too! Sparring improves realistic application of the tools you now have along with range, focus and timing which are important attributes for competition sparring or real self defence. Essex Martial Arts has a good reputation for producing excellent fighters who compete in the tournament circuit. Students all wear semi contact gloves, foot pads, shin pads, head guards etc.to reduce the risk of injury.
How to start
read moreThe best way forward to start you martial arts journey is to come along for a FREE trial lesson. Just wear loose sports clothing and bring some water. You are welcome to bring a friend or family member with you, and they will also be free. After the session you will get an information pack that details everything, so that you can make an informed decision. You can tell a lot about us by watching or training with my existing students and see if we are the right environment for you to start your training.
Combat Bullying
read moreAt Essex Martial Arts we will try and make you into a HARD target. This is done by teaching you self defence skills that will improve your self confidence and behaviour in a positive way. We will generate your mental and verbal skills to be pro-active, commanding and challenging in a courteous manner. Will we teach you how to produce the correct body language that will show you as a harder target and not a potential victim. And if any unavoidable confrontation develops to be in a better position to defend yourself.
Destruction
read moreThis is the physical test that demonstrates the correct use of power, technique, accuracy and judge of distance. Only those students who are 18 years old and above have to apply destruction as part of their training. We break synthetic wooden boards (re-usable) which are actually harder to break than real wood. Destruction shows how devastating the application of technique can be! Destruction is only started at senior level to allow students to have gained the correct knowledge, application and confidence to break.
Self Defence
read moreWe say practical as the techniques are easy to remember and work against almost all attackers. Our system not only includes the pro-active and pre-emptive physical sides but also the verbal communication side that hopefully means that you will not have to ‘Get Physical'. You will learn the correct verbal and physical posture to hopefully prevent violent confrontation. I have known Master Slater for over two decades now, I run clubs in Hertfordshire and have Master Slater conduct seminars for us.
