Taught by a professional martial art instructor. At present, there are very limited places in London which martial art classes are taught exclusively to LGBT. As an official LGBT enterprise, Jai’s Martial Art Institute ensures an ego free, fun, friendly environment for students to train and be themselves. It also acts as an alternative social platform to meet new friends.

The Institute believes strongly a supportive and motivating training ambiance is key to help students build self-confidence and self-defence skills.

Class Instructor

Classes are delivered by a qualified lesbian martial art instructor (Sifu Jai Chan) who has over ten years of teaching experience. Sifu Jai specialised in traditional Jujitsu for over ten years and trained Judo with the Hong Kong Judo Team. She has also taken on Kickboxing, Krav Maga and Kung Fu (Wing Chun) in pursuit of being an all-rounded martial artist. She has since competed diversely in Judo, Boxing, Kickboxing, MMA (mixed martial art) and BJJ (Brazilian Jujitsu).

Some cantonese may be used for teaching Kung Fu in class, so students may be able to pick up some Chinese terminologies whilst learning martial art too!
