We are proud to announce that our very own Chief Instructor Martin "Oz" Austwick has been chosen as Member of the month at www.intermartialarts.com. This award was given in recognition for the work Martin has done in improving the profile of martial arts in the UK, especially the indigenous martial arts of England. It's a big honour as Intermartialarts is a rapidly growing online community of martial artists from a huge range of backgrounds. To see the newsletter where the announcement was made click here
English Martial Arts on the BBC
The English Martial Arts Academy was the focus for a feature on Matthew Smith's Breakfast show for BBC Wiltshire. Their sports reporter Ben contacted us to arrange an interview due to the forthcoming tour. The audio of the feature is available here, for some reason they have cut it off at the very last second, but you'll get the idea I'm sure.

British Combat Association
We are pleased to announce that the English Martial Arts Academy is now part of the British Combat Association.
It is fair to say that in the 17 years since it was formed no other organisation has been as influential as the BCA in the martial arts world. Run by Peter Consterdine (8th Dan) and Geoff Thompson (7th Dan) this association has revolutionised the way martial arts are taught in the UK. Focussing on effective self defence and self protection the organisation actively discourages and avoids politics. Member groups come from a huge variety of backgrounds and styles but the thing they have in common is an open mind. We understand that one system may not have all the answers and it is only by being truly objective that we can grow. We look forward to a long and happy partnership with the BCA.
