Hakudakan Martial Arts Club Jujitsukalijkd

I have trained in a variety of martial arts growing up and I can honestly say that I had never met an instructor with such a broad and deep understanding as Sensei Barry Harte. Not only does he have an impressively large amount of personal experience, he is an incredible instructor with an eye for integrity and detail within performing techniques which he effortlessly and generously passes on to his students. Under Sensei Barry Harte’s leadership the Hakudakan continues to go from strength to strength and advocates a no nonsense approach to street effective techniques. Testament to this is the amount of quality, humble and skilful martial artists that train at the Hakudakan from many walks of life. The high standards in all areas of training, combined with a wide repertoire of techniques have personally given me abilities that I never would have believed I could achieve. Above all, Sensei Barry Harte is an inspiration as he leads from the front, teaching by principle.

I've been attending the class for a little over a year, there's always something new to learn or refine what you've previously been shown. Knowing a martial art system is a must skill set to have in this day and age (you could say unfortunately), because of the Hakudakan class, I have the confidence to not be that worried in any street situation. The Hakudakan class syllabus is layered in bite sized chunks, so the moves are easily absorbed. The higher level students have all been to other classes, but when they find this class, they stay, Sensei Barry always has something new to teach even them. Highly recommended, great Martial arts club, great atmosphere, great value.

My son has been a student of the Hakudakan Martial Arts Club since he was eight years old. He is now sixteen and a Junior Black belt, and he has joined the adult class. Barry has been amazing from the start. He always gives 100% and is a credit to all his students. His attention to detail, his enthusiasm and skill is unsurpassed. He cares about his students and this is clear in his approach to teaching. I highly recommend this club. Spiroulla

Hakudakan is definitely one of the best Martial Arts clubs around. Sensei Barry Harte teaches a no nonsense street effective style of self defence that actually works. Although primarily a Jiu-Jitsu Club, a number of other styles of Martial arts are also taught, such as JKD, Kali and Panantukan (Dirty Boxing), where students are taught to utilise and defend against hand, Knife and stick attacks. Everyone at the Club is very friendly, down to earth and approachable. Whether you are new to martial arts or are looking to take yourself to the next level I would thoroughly recommend you give Hakudakan a chance.
