Welcome to Elite Fighting Arts. The ONLY place to practice Kyokushinkai and Kudo in North Wales. KYOKUSHIN (meaning Ultimate Truth) or Kyokushinkai is a style of Karate known as the strongest style and was developed in the 1950s by Masutatsu Oyama. At Elite Fighting Arts, our primary fighting style is Kyokushinkai & Knockdown - Full contact no glove fighting.
In addition, we incorporated a Muay Thai Kickboxing programme, sponsored by TUFF Camp, Thailand and introduced the Japanese MMA style; KUDO. Differing from Western MMA, in that a Gi or uniform is worn, with emphasis on striking, along with the use of head-butts & elbows making this a separate sport. We use a mix of full contact Knockdown bare knuckle fighting & Kickboxing, Jujutsu/Jiujitsu, Shima (Okinawa style Sumo in Gi) & Persian Koshti Wrestling, strength training & conditioning methods.
We do not consider ourselves a modern style MMA gym but focus on the Budo mixed fighting striking & grappling methods with modern concepts, our foundation rooted in Kyokushinkai.
We offer training in the following disciplines; some of the worlds toughest standup fighting systems:
