Everyone Belongs at Nam Yang Brighton
At Nam Yang Brighton, we’re more than a martial arts club — we’re a community.
With over 250 active members, including 100 children from more than 20 different ethnic backgrounds, our classes bring people together from all walks of life.
We celebrate difference and welcome everyone — people with physical disabilities, special educational needs, mental health challenges, refugee experiences, and those living on low incomes. Whoever you are, you’re part of the team here. We all train side by side, supporting and inspiring one another every step of the way.
Our inclusive spirit has led us to become the first martial arts club in the UK to be awarded Club of Sanctuary status — a reflection of the love, acceptance, and hope we aim to share through everything we do.
We teach classes in traditional martial arts (including mindfulness/meditation techniques) and combat sports. These include Shuang Yang soft style Tai Chi, Chi Gong, Tiger Crane Kung Fu, K1Kickboxing, San Da Kickboxing, Savate Kickboxing, Muay Thai, Boxing and Shaolin Weapons. Our classes are taught in a relaxed, safe and friendly environment and we offer a variety of classes for all ages. We also make our space available to other clubs to use.
We have been making a positive impact within our local community for over 20 years. Why not pop down for a free trial and meet our wonderful community of instructors and members!
