About Us
There are so many amazing benefits that the martial arts have to offer for longevity and continued growth. We live in an ever stressful and often violent time where this sort of training is becoming more essential as it is so important to be able to protect the ones that we love both in a physical sense and by keeping our minds strong and active.
Linage
The main element of our curriculum comes from the Warriors Eskrima system under Guro Krishna Godhania. We also use methods from the Inosanto system.
We are proud to be linked to Guro Krishna Godhania of the Warriors Eskrima system and one of the foremost exponents of the Filipino Martial Arts in Europe.
functional
We ensure that we train with active resistance to ensure that we can actually defend ourselves from someone who is really trying to hurt us which is exactly the way it will be on the street in real life. Bruce Lee's own journey took him towards a much more functional approach where sparring became the main element of his training. Hard training produces honest results.
community
Our passion is to share these amazing arts and the many benefits that martial arts training offers in particular for those 40 years plus. You are never to old to learn something new and improve your lifestyle.
These arts are unique to Dover and we want to be able create a community feel for our club in the area.
​At AFA we work together to help and support each other to constantly
improve. We push each other to become better martial artists and better people.
Unfortunately with the rise of mental health issues and people increasingly feeling more stressed out and frustrated we make sure that AFA is a place where everyone helps and supports each other

journey
Martial Arts is a life long journey where focus is placed not only on physical development but on developing the spirit. Not in a religious sense but in developing a strong character and mind. In the physical we need to be flexible and adaptable and so must we in all aspects of our lives.
​
One of the most important aspects is to enjoy the journey otherwise, why bother.
