Tony Bailey - Co-Founder
With 50 years study into Japanese Martial Arts, Tony is an incredibly experienced martial artist, and one of the highest graded instructors in the UK. Inducted into the Martial Arts Hall of Fame UK & USA 2000, 2012 & 2016, he was awarded his Black Belt 8th Dan along with the title Hanshi, in April 2026, after having been 7th Dan for 10 years before that.
He teaches Japanese styled Ju Jutsu to all age groups and abilities and champions holistic training. He balances the physical training of martial arts, with guidance and introspective work on the individual. This he sees as both a moral obligation, as well as an opportunity to assist the local community.
By creating equilibrium within the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual elements of training, the individual is more balanced, more charitable and more serviceable to the community.
A published author, he has also written for several national magazines and often teaches & lectures at seminars and events around the UK and overseas. He is a Trustee for Fighting For Autism UK & Europe Charity, as well as Adaptive Martial Arts UK & Ireland and is a qualified Health & Safety, Security and Fire Risk Assessor.
With 17 years reiki experience, he also treats the public as a master practitioner and is licenced to teach reiki for personal use, and for practitioner or teacher training.
