The Hands Down Story
This is a family run club. Michael and Kalon Page are the directors and co-owners of the Hands Down Martial Arts Academies in the UK. Two high achieving athletes and martial arts pedigree.
I think all children and adults should do martial arts its more than just about being fit. Its about being disciplined, focused and a role model in your community . you don’t have to be a competitive champion to be successful with the martial arts and there are few other sports that can say the same.

Why are we called hands down?
Hands Down Represents a specific style of fighting. In most martial arts defending in combat is dependant on blocking, we are more dependant on our distance, timing and movement. This allows us to fight with our hands down as we are always two steps ahead of our opponents. We know how close our opponents need to be to make contact way before our opponents do.

Saved my life. Best martial arts teachers. Never been fitter or happier than when training with these guys. And my kids took so much from the classes too. After a tough few years with her brother, my daughter would not have the quiet confidence and inner sense of self she shows now, had she not been part of the Epsom martial arts from the age of 4. Stop thinking about doing it and DO IT!

My son's been coming here for a few years now - an amazing group of instructors, who do all they can to make you feel welcome. They are great at instilling all the values you'd want them too, as well, not just the technical aspects of martial arts. Brilliant!

Highly recommend Hands Down Academy, my son started with them at the age of 5 in HD Dragons and moved up the stages all the way up. The support and friendly team spirit is one of the best things here. Not only all the instructors but also the parents coming and waiting along are very supportive and cheer on the kids on to keep the spirits up. Well done to the HD Team !!
