Black Snow Martial Arts Centre - Chichester / Bognor Regis / Barnham / Littlehampton

What will I learn?

The Japanese martial arts were developed as a result of 900 years of turbulent war and peace, and from this many schools emerged - each refining techniques and methods to suit their needs. There were schools of training for the battlefield warrior, the police, the Samurai royal guard, the Ninja assassin and the female spy. Nine of these schools have been handed down which are today studied collectively as 'Ninpo Taijutsu'. These are primarily Ninjutsu and Samurai Jujutsu schools which have many different strikes, locks, throws, restraints and weapons.

What are the classes like?

We have really enjoyable classes with great training in a friendly, relaxed atmosphere. Classes are suitable for people who are keen to learn and physically able.

More About Zen Meditation Classes

Zen meditation classes are all about focusing and calming the mind. Classes provide a time for us to practise and learn about the methods which might suit us best. Zen meditation is simple and direct. Our classes provide an enjoyable way to find balance and harmony with nature and centre the self in a non-religious way.

Classes begin with some easy breathing exercises followed by some relaxation practice. The rest of the session is made up from short practical periods of meditation and discussions about practice.

We cater for able adults of all ages and our classes are an hour long. Students are asked to bring a standard size cushion with them and wear comfy clothes with socks.
