Entering into Trapping, Locks, Holds & Counters – Sunday 2nd June 2024

Cambridge Academy Senior Instructor Ollie Batts organised a charity seminar in June 2024. The seminar took place at St Bede’s, in Cambridge.

All takings from the event will go to support the Arthur Rank Hospice Charity, which is an organisation close to our hearts.

The hospice supports people in Cambridgeshire living with an advanced serious illness or other life-limiting condition and those who need end-of-life care.

Ollie demonstrated skills and techiques from martial arts from around the world, including Sambo, Hapkido, Kuk Sool, Ju-Jitsu, Shooto & more. Participants began with stand-up skills, later progressing onto locks, take-downs and groundwork.

Martial Arts Cross-Training Seminar – 23rd October 2022

Thanks to everyone who attended the Martial Arts Cross-Training Seminar at St Bede’s. Senior Instructor Ollie Batts covered a wide range of empty-hand and weaponry skills from Kali, JKD, and Savate, with some bonus walking cane defences. It was good to see some old friends and make some new ones, and to get some great feedback.
