About DoBu
A martial arts community built on discipline, respect and continuous improvement.
Our Story
DoBu Martial Arts was founded in West Sussex by Mauricio Gomez — an internationally experienced martial artist with Dans across Judo, Jiu-jitsu, Karate and Muay Thai. His vision was simple: to create a world-class training facility accessible to everyone, from absolute beginners to seasoned competitors.
Today, DoBu is home to hundreds of members across all age groups. Our purpose-built facility features large matted training areas, a fully equipped gym, a sauna, a steam room, and full changing facilities — everything you need to train seriously and recover properly.
Whether your goal is self-improvement, competition, fitness or self-defence, DoBu's coaching team has the expertise to help you reach it.
