Martial Arts Training & Skill Development in Chorley

Structured training. Real development. Martial arts are the tools we use to build confidence, resilience, discipline and practical self-protection.

CQS / KAPAP-Krav

The common foundation

One Foundation For Every Student.

CQS / KAPAP-Krav is not a separate style to choose. It is the shared foundation every TBBF student builds on.

It develops practical self-protection, awareness, movement and decision making, progressively and safely. Students work towards clear goals, recognise their progress and keep challenging themselves, whichever Student Journey they follow.

Selectable skill routes

Choose The Skills You Want To Build.

Once the foundation is in place, students choose any route, in any order, to suit their goals. Every route sits inside the same development system and Pathway.

Ju-Jitsu

Control, leverage and composure

Ju-Jitsu develops close control, balance and leverage. Students learn to stay calm under pressure and to solve problems with technique rather than strength.

Choose Ju-Jitsu to build patience and problem solving. Working closely with a partner develops trust, self-control and the confidence to stay composed when things feel difficult, on and off the mat.

  • Composure under pressure
  • Problem solving
  • Self-control
  • Trust and teamwork

  • Focus
  • Resilience
  • Self-belief

Close Quarters Combatives

High intensity. All ranges. Not for the faint-hearted.

Close Quarters Combatives is dynamic, high-intensity training across every range, deliberately going beyond conventional MMA boundaries. It is harder-edged by design, for students ready to test their skills, awareness and determination.

Choose Close Quarters Combatives to find out what you are capable of. Training under pressure develops mental toughness, decisive thinking and courage, along with the awareness and control to use them responsibly.

  • Mental toughness
  • Courage
  • Decision making
  • Awareness and control
