A message from David Wilson After many years of teaching and being involved in martial arts, I have made the decision that 2026 will be my final year of teaching at The Martial Arts Centre. This is not a decision I have taken lightly. Martial arts have been a huge part of my life since I first started training, and The Martial Arts Centre has become much more than simply a place to train. It has become a community, and I am incredibly proud of everything that we have achieved
