You will learn a base art of Choi Kwang-Do (CKD), a revolutionary martial art and exercise programme developed by Grandmaster Kwang Jo Choi. The martial art is founded on the principle that self-defence techniques should generate maximum force, be practical and easy to learn, enhance your health as you practice, as well as develop physical and mental conditioning.

As you advance, the Musa Martial Arts Academy also blends the use of various other styles such as Wing Chun, Muay Thai and Krav Maga for Adult Students to increase knowledge for self defence.

When developing Choi Kwang Do, Grandmaster Choi worked alongside experts in the fields of human anatomy, physiology, psychology, kinesiology, neurophysiology and biomechanics. These are sciences that understand various parts of the human body, how they work and how they relate to one another. Grandmaster Choi then devised the martial art techniques and drills based upon his findings from these sciences. The unique method of blocking, punching, striking and kicking in Choi Kwang Do are easy to learn and enable practitioners to generate tremendous power for self-defence.

All students go through an Introductory Programme specifically designed in introduce new students to Martial Arts. You will be taught by Abid Musa, an experienced Martial Arts Instructor who will modify your programme based upon your personal needs and experience.

Part of the philosophy of Choi Kwang Do is that martial arts training should promote optimum health and well being leading to a happier, healthier and more productive life. You do not need to fit before starting Choi Kwang Do. However, you will become fitter as a natural result of the training! All students are encouraged to work at their own preferred pace and intensity in class.

Yes! Choi Kwang Do is one of the safest martial arts you will find because it is semi-contact and non-competitive. Experience shows that most students rarely get injured during class. Despite our low injury rate, student safety is still very important and certain drills require students to wear mandatory protective equipment.

Yes! In terms of self-defence, awareness and avoidance are paramount. However, if you have to use your defensive skills, the powerful striking techniques will enable you stun or stop an attacker, even as a smaller person. At the Musa Academy we use various styles of martial arts to focus on technique over strength. This means it is suitable for any shape, size or gender.

Most of our students achieve their black belts in 3½ to 5 years, and the best place to start is by taking a Free Trial.
