Capoeira Academy Acmb London

London

Capoeira is an art which combines fighting and dancing elements and makes it as one whole fighting style. If you want to train your sense of rhythm, agility, smoothness of movement, dynamics, coordination and improve your physical condition, the art of capoeira is just for you. It doesn’t matter how old you are, how tall you are or how much you weigh – it’s a completely safe martial art with something for everyone. If you want, sign up and come to the class and you will find that capoeira gives you a lot of satisfaction. Capoeira was born in the 18th century in Brazil, which is still today the cradle of this martial art. Smooth kicks, dodges and changes to the rhythm of the music are the basis of this martial art, unique in many respects. There are several styles of hers, some of which focus more on movements to the music and others on aspects more related to combat. The assumption of capoeira is spectacular body play, which equips them with fitness, teaches them to feel and is a source of pure pleasure. It has the form of shows enriched with music, during which smooth, rhythmic swings, punches, and dodges are performed, but in a non-contact manner, so completely safe. Capoeira engages not only the body but also the senses. Capoeira has no limits and does not impose anything on you. You want and you can do anything, but you don’t have to do anything. It is a feast for the body and soul, with the legs playing the main role – they are used to make most of the strokes, while the hands are used for passages and dodges. Capoeira teaches balance and stabilization, while relaxing and exercising the body, allowing you to express yourself and at the same time cut yourself off from everyday problems.

We contacted NCL having been given their details by a friend who had been in a similar situation, and from calling them up to them being with us at our home was less than 24 hours. The NCL team calmed the storm and conducted a short term relocation, whilst still protecting our family possessions. They demonstrated an amazing amount of restraint and professionalism throughout the whole episode, and without their advice and guidance, I believe everything would have escalated beyond return. We have since used them for a more permanent relocation and continue to utilise their services for both business and domestic security. NCL was there when we needed them and others had failed us.

London Longsword Academy

london longsword academy

Bromley

Everyone is welcome to train, from beginners to expert martial artists, no matter what your age, gender or background may be. Here you will have the opportunity to study diverse medieval and Renaissance weapon styles, including longsword, sword and buckler, dussack, messer, rapier and dagger, in a safe, friendly and completely inclusive environment. LLA will help you find and exceed your limits, teaching you a martial art honed and made perfect through Europe’s many centuries of warfare. SIMPLE YET SOPHISTICATED Every technique shown is the simplest answer for the threat given, and the most effective way to attack and cover in one motion. What at first appears to be more complex, you will soon learn is the simplest way to deal with a more complex threat. POWERFUL BODY MECHANICS Applicable to most armed and unarmed martial arts. This art will teach you to fight using your entire body, maximising your power and honing your instinctive responses. LOGIC AND GEOMETRY At the LLA we use a simple four step training method. Each technique is based on logic and the demands of the situation, rather than clever or showy moves; it just happens that some techniques look damned good. The method breaks down each set of techniques into four steps, each student only progressing to the next part of the technique when they have mastered the first. This means that as a beginner you can train with more advanced practitioners straight away and never feel left behind, while allowing you to advance at your own pace. Variations in the four steps allow for overlaps and cross- referencing of responses and pressures, thus building your understanding and repertoire of combat simply and quickly. INCLUSIVITY AND DIVERSITY One thing we are at pains to point out at the LLA is the multi-cultural nature of these arts. Manuals such as I.33 & Paulus Hector Mair’s Fechbuch (amongst many others), show women and men, white and black training together and it is also known that several masters of these arts were Jewish. This diversity is part of our art and history; we feel it should be a proud part of its future. LLA has a zero-tolerance policy for discriminatory behaviour or hate speech amongst its students, and aims to be a safe and welcoming space for all.

DMK Fundamentals - Skin Revision Treatments DMK believes the origin of any skin condition is a result of disharmony in the function of the skin. Using the principles of biochemistry, DMK has formulated a range of treatments and products that re-educate the skin. By matching formulations to the bodys own chemistry, the skin is induced to respond in a positive manner and heal itself. The DMK concept of REMOVE, REBUILD, PROTECT and MAINTAIN is simply about restoring balance and enhancing the skin to function optimally once again. Your DMK Fundamentals Skin Revision Treatment starts with a deep cleanse to rid your pores of dirt and cellular debris. The Remove process is further enhanced through the use of an exfoliating thermal gel that increases oxygenation to the tissues. Your therapist will then pre-heat with a powdered vitamin C serum to kick-start collagen production. This allows the amino acids in our signature enzyme masque to Rebuild. The ingredients penetrate beyond the surface to restore structural integrity and revitalise your skin at a cellular level. Your treatment ends with a series of products your therapists will prescribe to Protect and Maintain your newly revised skin. To achieve the best results, you must agree to follow this DMK Home Prescriptive regimen. Incorporating other retail brands that are not compatible with the DMK method will delay the progress obtained by the treatment. The new DMK Fundamentals kits include enough product for 1 professional treatment and a 30 day supply of home care products. While there may be no "magic bullet" that cures all, each kit provides you with everything you need to address age related, acne and pigmentation conditions. Age Management Reduces the appearance of minor pigmentation caused by age-related factors. This kit is particularly helpful in treating ageing skin showing signs of fine lines, wrinkles and sun damage. Follow the Home Prescriptive regimen to stimulate collagen and regulate cellular turnover. Acne Control DMK created this kit to help you balance oil production and ill bacteria. These products penetrate the pores to dry up existing acne while preventing further break outs. Use the enclosed ACU System to help you combat acne at home. Pigmentation Balancing Addresses passive and inflammatory pigmentation with this selection of innovative products. Used in conjunction with each other, these products rapidly reduce inflammation and suppress melanin productions over time.

Judo, which means "gentle way" is a martial art that was born in Japan, and it is now known around the world as an Olympic sport since 1964. Judo was established in 1882 by combining jujitsu, a form of wrestling, with mental discipline. It is the most widely-practiced martial art in the world, and the second-most practiced sport worldwide behind football SCORING Ippon is the best in that it results in immediate victory and can be achieved by throwing an opponent in such a way as to make then land on their back. Alternative methods of scoring ippon include trapping an opponent in an armhold or stranglehold to the extent that it forces them to submit or immobilising an opponent on the floor for at least 20 seconds.The next best score is a Waza-ari, which is a half point in that the award of two waza-ari in a bout is the same as ippon, and hence the winner is declared. Waza-ari is awarded for lesser throws than those scoring ippon, and for immobilising the opponent for less than the time required to score Ippon. Jigoro Kano From the twelfth to the nineteenth century Japan was ruled by the samurai, a class of professional soldiers. This provided fertile ground for various martial arts to develop. In addition to fighting with swords and bows and arrows, the samurai developed jujitsu to fight enemies at close quarters on the battlefield. Several different styles of jujitsu evolved, and hand-to-hand combat spread as an important form of military training. The era of samurai rule came to an end with the Meiji Restoration of 1868, and Western culture began filtering in into Japanese society. Jujitsu fell into decline, but the enthusiasm of one young man rescued it from extinction. That man was Jigoro Kano, the founder of judo as we know it today. Kano excelled in schoolwork but had an inferiority complex about his small physique. So he became an apprentice of Yanosuke Fukuda, a master of the Tenjin Shin’yo school of jujitsu, when he was 17 and worked to become stronger. In May 1882, when he was just 21 years old, he took the best things about each jujitsu style and created a single new school. This was the birth of modern Judo.

The Family Foraging Kitchen C.I.C.

Millbrook

Foraging walks and heritage craft courses.FORAGING IS ABOUT MORE THAN SOURCING FOOD AND NOURISHMENT. The Family Foraging Kitchen is a social enterprise dedicated to tackling local food poverty by providing quality and affordable wild food education to the people of Cornwall. As a C.I.C, a percentage of the profit made from our ticketed courses allows us to provide the same educational opportunities to those experiencing food poverty and/or social isolation for free. We believe that all people should have access to wild food education, as well as the confidence to access nutritious, sustainable, local, fresh food. For every walk or course you purchase from The Family Foraging Kitchen – you help to provide a local family the skills to find free food forever. Modern agricultural methods have meant that foraging, once a part of our ancestral daily life, has faded away, replaced by regular family trips to the supermarket. We are becoming more disconnected from the food that we eat. Given the ecological, social, and environmental crises that we now face globally, humanity needs to – rather urgently and radically – examine its relationship with food and how we acquire it. Additionally, we also feel that traditional skills and crafts are in danger of being lost, especially to our children, which is why we also work with a team of local artisans to offer courses that preserve ancestral heritage and traditional skills. Foraging is about more than sourcing food and nourishment. As an activity, it encourages us to get out into the countryside, helping us to cultivate an intimate appreciation of nature, while letting us better understand local history, science, and folklore. It has the potential to bond families, strengthen communities, and re-establish ecological connections severed by modern life. There is also a good deal of fear and misinformation surrounding the use and consumption of wild plants, and we believe that the best way to combat this is to share knowledge, helping communities to understand how their wild environments can be used for good. While our foraging walks, talks, and courses primarily take place across southeast Cornwall and Plymouth, we also have a fixed outdoor education centre for our skilled craft courses, which is based upon the Antony Estate in Sheviock. Here we have an outdoor classroom, covered outdoor work and cookery area, apiary, woodland, orchard, reservoir, and facilities, such a compost toilet – each established in line with our environmental and ethical policies. The facilities on site have been designed and built to accommodate for disabled accessibility. If you are interested in better understanding the environment, come to Cornwall and explore what we have on offer!

Cultivate Tees Valley

cultivate tees valley

Stockton-On-Tees

Cultivate Tees Valley (CTV) is an environmental organisation that works in partnership to build a better world by growing food security for those living across the Tees Valley and by transforming unused urban and rural land into spaces where food is grown. Initiatives focus on combating isolation and improving mental health by connecting people through food and environmental initiatives, with a strong focus on recruiting and equipping teams of volunteers, alongside training and education programmes. Programmes incorporate art to help beautify more derelict spaces and up-cycling of items that would normally go to the landfill. Cultivate currently works across the Tees Valley developing urban food growing gardens and within ten youth centres across Stockton running an environmental education programme that aims to educate young people on the issues of climate change and how they can help change their environment for the better. The work of Cultivate Tees Valley has been partly inspired by Bonton Farms in Dallas, Texas, an organsation that one of our Directors worked alongside during his time living in the US. Bonton is located in an area with high levels of poverty, terrible health outcomes and poor access to fresh food. Bonton Farms was set up to grow fresh food for local people to combat their health and hunger issues, and put food on their tables. The other great impact of their work on their community was through the work they did mentoring local people through the running of the farm while providing meaningful activities for those facing isolation and loneliness. Growing Sites Arlington Park Arly Park is based in Parkfield and is run by the Cornerhouse Youth Project. This new initiative involves the development of an unused field into a safe growing space for local children, young people and families. CTV and Cornerhouse use this space to support pupils from Bowesfield Primary School during school time hours and work with local young people through evening drop in sessions. Thornaby Allotments Youth Direction asked CTV to develop their two allotments that had become overgrown. This growing space is used for vulnerable young people through one-to-one work, for volunteer days and for adults looking to improve their mental health through gardening. Harty Road Cafe Garden, Hartington Road Hartington Road is located in the most deprived area of Stockton. The Little Sprouts Charity have been working with residents through cooking programmes, bread making and a Pay As You Feel cafe. CTV started an urban garden on Hartington Road to provide training and education opportunities to residents while growing food for the cafe. Elmwood Community Centre Based in Hartburn, the Elmwood site has raised beds and a poly tunnel. Teesside University, NCS and Bright Minds Big Futures have partnered on this site. St Michael's and All Angel's, Norton 2020 will see us develop part of the Church grounds into a growing space that can be accessed by the local community and users of the food bank based at the Church.
