What ZKS MA Do
ZKS Martial Arts is your award-winning martial arts school in Aylesbury and Watford, with nearly 1,000 members training every week. We provide high-quality martial arts classes for all ages and abilities, from toddlers to adults, in a safe, friendly, and supportive environment. Our professional instructors deliver expert training in karate, kickboxing, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ), Taijutsu, Judo, no‑gi grappling, submission wrestling, and practical self-defence.
Our Dragons program introduces children aged 3–4 to martial arts through fun, engaging activities that build coordination, balance, focus, and confidence. For Reception, Year 1, and Year 2 (ages 5–7), the Ninjas program develops discipline, self-control, and foundational skills in karate, kickboxing, and self-defence. Children in Years 3–6 (ages 7–11) can join our Junior Martial Arts program, offering karate, kickboxing, judo, and self-defence to improve fitness, agility, confidence, and teamwork. For Years 7–10 (ages 11–15), our Teen Martial Arts program combines striking from karate, Muay Thai, and kickboxing with grappling and throwing from judo and BJJ, building self-confidence, resilience, and practical self-defence skills.
For adults, our Adult Martial Arts classes blend the traditional martial art of Taijutsu with modern striking arts such as Muay Thai, karate, and kickboxing, plus grappling and throwing disciplines like judo and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Whether you want to improve fitness, learn effective self-defence, or master martial arts skills, our adult program offers expert tuition in a welcoming community. We also run HAVOC BJJ & No‑Gi Grappling for teens and adults focusing on Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, submission wrestling, and no‑gi grappling to develop technical skill, strength, and competition readiness.
Our Adaptive ZKSMA program ensures martial arts is accessible to all children, including those with Special Educational Needs (SEN) such as autism, ADHD, dyslexia, dyspraxia, and sensory processing differences, as well as those who may struggle with shyness or social anxiety. This inclusive program provides individualised instruction, a sensory‑friendly training space, confidence‑building activities, and opportunities to develop social skills in a supportive, understanding environment.
With over 60 classes a week across Aylesbury and Watford, ZKS Martial Arts delivers a complete martial arts experience for every age and skill level.
