DoBu offers four internationally respected disciplines, each taught by multi-qualified black-belt instructors.
A Japanese discipline emphasising striking techniques, punches, kicks, knee and elbow strikes, alongside kata (forms) and kumite (sparring). DoBu teaches traditional Shotokan Karate. Classes run at beginner, intermediate and advanced levels.
A Japanese Olympic sport-martial art centred on throws, takedowns and ground control (newaza). Excellent for developing balance, leverage and physical fitness. Judo is available for both adults and children, and is one of DoBu's most popular disciplines.
BJJ focuses on ground fighting and submission grappling, joint locks and chokes that allow a smaller practitioner to overcome a larger opponent. DoBu's BJJ programme is the most session-rich in the schedule, offering the greatest number of weekly training opportunities.
Thailand's national combat sport, the "Art of Eight Limbs", uses fists, elbows, knees and shins. An intense striking art that builds fitness, coordination and mental toughness. DoBu's Muay Thai sessions are aimed at adults aged 18 and over.
