Our Facilities
Purpose-built for martial arts training — everything you need in one place.
Matted Training Area
At the heart of DoBu is the main training hall — a 400 square metre tatami-style mat area purpose-built for martial arts. The high-density mats provide excellent impact absorption for throws, falls and ground work, reducing the risk of injury during training.
The hall features high ceilings, professional lighting calibrated to minimise glare without creating shadows, and full climate control. All four walls have mirrored sections, essential for kata, form practice and technique refinement.

Fitness Room
DoBu's fully equipped gym supports martial arts-specific conditioning alongside general fitness training. It is available to members as part of their membership and as a pay-as-you-go drop-in at £6 per visit.
The equipment list covers all aspects of physical development relevant to martial artists, from explosive strength to endurance. The gym is supervised during peak hours and personal training is available by appointment.
- Free weights: dumbbells, barbells, kettlebells (up to 80kg)
- Olympic lifting platform

Finnish Sauna
DoBu's Finnish sauna operates at 80–90°C and is available to all members as part of their membership package. Heat therapy is widely used in sports recovery — sauna use post-training assists in muscle relaxation, reduces delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) and promotes circulation.
The sauna accommodates up to eight people and is cleaned and maintained to the highest hygiene standards. Towels are available to hire at reception. Members are encouraged to use the sauna as part of a structured cool-down and recovery routine.
- Finnish dry sauna at 80–90°C
- Capacity: 8 people
- Included in all membership tiers
- Towel hire available at reception
Steam Room
The steam room operates at 40–45°C with 100% humidity and complements the sauna as part of DoBu's recovery suite. Steam therapy promotes respiratory health, deep tissue relaxation and skin cleansing — particularly beneficial after intense grappling sessions.
The steam room and sauna are located adjacent to the changing facilities, creating a natural post-training recovery circuit. Members with cardiovascular conditions or low blood pressure should consult a medical professional before use.
