About
Exeter Practical Martial Arts™ (EPMA™) is a friendly and professionally-run club based in Exeter, Devon.
Exeter Practical Martial Arts’™ teaches Taekwondo and Reality Based self-defence. Training is based upon classical martial arts and modern martial arts, with a lot of pad work (for power generation and aerobic and anaerobic fitness), patterns (for concentration, technique perfection and applications study and remembrance), two-person drills (for self-defence and realism), scenario and pattern-based sparring (controlled contact sparring at all ranges, standing up, and on the ground).
Exeter Practical Martial Arts™ does not teach Taekwondo classes in Korean. All of our lessons are completely in English in order to faciliate learning and enable our students to get the maximum benefit from their Taekwondo training. Nor do we spar for competition, or do any form of breaking, 3, or 2-step sparring. Finally, in order to get the best results from our reality-based training, we train in t-shirts, gi bottoms and trainers.
Martial arts training for children is between the ages of 4 - 12 and is safe and non-contact. For more details please click here.
