Westwell

Founded in 2011, Jack Raven Bushcraft courses take place in beautiful Westwell, Kent, UK, just 50 miles from the centre of London with easy access by both rail and road. We have access to around 60 or so acres of stunning ancient broadleaf woodland in a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.  Our courses in bushcraft, ancestral skills and wilderness living are perfect for anyone who wants to learn new outdoor skills, foraging, herbal remedies, traditional woodland crafts, corporate team building activities or simply having fun with nature. You don’t need any previous outdoor experience to take part in one of our bushcraft courses, or indeed any of our other courses, and the training sessions are entirely hands on so that you leave Jack Raven Bushcraft with simple, practical and repeatable skills.  Not only will you learn valuable bushcraft, survival and outdoor skills, but we’re certain that you’ll have a lot of fun along the way!  Our ancestral skills and bushcraft courses take place in a private woodland with no public access at an expedition style camp on the North Downs, complete with a yurt and wood burning stove, a parachute, a kitchen area, work benches and a composting toilet.  We have areas where you can pitch a hammock, tarp or small tent, cleared of standing and hanging dead wood, or you can camp on a nearby working farm campsite.  It’s the perfect environment for training in wilderness survival skills and taking part in our unbeatable bushcraft courses. Our bushcraft experience courses in Kent offer a wide range of organised outdoor tasks and team building activities covering wilderness living skills, woodlore, camp craft, tracking, earth skills, carving, and wild food and foraging courses as well as a wide range of traditional craft courses.   Our bushcraft and wilderness survival courses vary in duration, some take a day and are more specialised or you can join us for a bushcraft weekend.  For those who would like a truly immersive experience, we offer 5 day bushcraft courses – here you can learn all of the principles and skills needed to get by in the wild.   We place a strong emphasis on natural history, woodland management and conservation throughout all of our teachings as we believe that this knowledge should inform everything we do in bushcraft, both in the UK and abroad.

The history of how Chikara came about goes right back to 1977 when the founder Sensei Mark D’Arcy 7th Dan started training at the oval karate club, a club led by the late sensei Doug Phillips 6th Dan. Sensei Phillips taught Shotokan karate on the Wirral from the late 1960’s and was a close personal friend to Kanazawa Sensei, during the following years the oval changed its name to Sen-no-Sen under the expert teachings and guidance of the then president Sensei Ronnie Colwell, teaching and classes were of the highest standard in kumite, kata and kobudo. In 1986 Chikara was born and affiliated with the BKA, it’s first dojo opening in pensby on the Wirral. To date Chikara has four dojo’s across the Wirral, Pensby, Upton, Hoylake and Noctorum with 5 sessions a week available. All Chikara members are fully licensed and insured through the BKA. The BKA are full members of the EKF (English Karate Federation) and the WKF (World Karate Federation). The BKA and Chikara provide training opportunities with top class instructors across many styles to compliment our own training. The Association also provides National Championships every year and access to International events via the BKA squad. Chikara has gone through many changes over the years to bring new opportunities and activities to the students, under the guidance of the two Senior Instructors sensei’s Mark D’Arcy (6th Dan) and the late Dave Young (5th Dan), who have both been involved in Martial Arts and more specifically Shotokan karate for over 30 years. Chikara provides training throughout each week with different instructors at different locations across the Wirral.

Birmingham

We offer full-time and part-time programs at our premises in Birmingham and online through ZOOM. Our alim program is comprehensive. The first two years focus on developing a strong foundation in Arabic grammar and morphology. Fiqh (jurisprudence), tafsir (Qur’anic commentary), hadith, history, and aqidah studies continue throughout. The program culminates with detailed coverage of the six canonical books of hadith. For those who have completed the alim program at our institute or have graduated from another reputable madrasah, we offer takhassus (specialization) courses in hadith and tafsir, as well as ifta (the science of giving Islamic legal rulings). Darul Ilm is actively involved in our local community, by offering short courses on a regular basis, engaging in community projects, and establishing activities for the youth. We offer alimiyah courses and other facilities for women to empower those members of our community who may otherwise not be able to acquire religious knowledge due to domestic needs and childbearing. At a global level, we work to establish links with Muslim communities across the world to develop our networks and promote unity and brotherhood. We also encourage our students to establish maktabs, institutes, and madrasahs to spread knowledge. We helped one of our students in Mexico establish the first Alim/Alimah course in the Spanish world, and also helped with a small maktab/institute in Sweden. Darul Ilm is based in Birmingham and is a registered charity. It runs with the assistance, du´as (prayers), and regular rectification of the senior teachers of Darul Uloom Bury. The support from the teachers is sincerely appreciated and we pray Allah rewards them for all their help. Ameen.
