After years of study in various martial arts styles that included Kyokushin kai Karate, Kickboxing, Tae Kwon Do & Ju Jitsu as well as other various other arts.The first Gaijin school was first started in 1999.

Within the first year we had gone from one school teaching twice a week to teaching six days a week in three locations throughout South East London and Kent. As well as our regular classes we have also worked with special groups that inclued Bromley PR Unit (Kickboxing & Leadership skills), Park rangers (Self defence and enviroment awareness), and have run after school and half term Buzz club programs.

In 2000 we won our first award as a school and to date we have won 6 National and International awards and our students have won 14 National comendations for martial arts and community work. and have been honored by various International groups in Europe and worldwide The chief Instructor also sits as an advisor on a number of International martial arts boards.

In 2009 Gaijin MMA was opened to allow our students who wished to participate in full contact competition an avenue for them to take part in the sport of Mixed Martial Arts and Grappling tournaments, yet again we have been successful in training our students to Junior under 60kg and Adult under 70kg Amature British Champions, WCMMA No:1 Kickboxing contender and title contender and the bantam weight Interim title holder and contender.
