Yoseikan Aikido is a traditional Japanese mixed martial art which is a harmonious blend of Judo, Jujutsu, Karate and Kenjutsu and holds it’s foundations in the budo martial art of the Japanese Samurai.

4worldlovers: The vision of Premier Martial Arts School and Fitness Academy is to inspire and excite people’s lives through martial arts and at the same time instill the life skills and character of a true martial artist while upholding important values like courtesy, patience, respect, self control, integrity and discipline. Premier Martial Arts Academy helps students develop perseverance, which is a non-quitting spirit to overcome life’s obstacles as well as self discipline, high self esteem, a spirit of constant improvement and an attitude that refuses to give up.

I joined Premier Academy with my brother when we were 8 years old. I was shy at the time, so being able to train alongside my brother boosted my confidence. The instructors encouraged and supported us. Whenever anyone needs extra help Premier provides it. They made learning fun and I loved the parties at Christmas and themed sessions like Halloween. Some of my closest friendships were formed at Premier. It is a safe environment where everyone is welcomed and catered for. I have always trained a few times a week and chose to participate in competitions. I felt proud to be part of Premier and because they train us in a full range of mixed martial arts, we were successful when we competed. They celebrate every individual’s achievement at whatever level they’re at. I was so proud when I achieved my Black Belt.
