Last updated
Rochester's martial arts scene is small but varied, with three studios spread across the town and its surrounding areas. Frindsbury Extra and Troy Town are the two neighbourhoods where dedicated training spaces have established themselves, each with a distinct focus. Celt Karate in Frindsbury Extra offers traditional karate instruction, while the Traditional Wing Chun Academy Chuen in Troy Town specialises in the Chinese kung fu system of Wing Chun. Combat Sports Academy rounds out the local options with a five-star rating from its members. The studios here tend to be independent and instructor-led, which generally means smaller class sizes and a more direct relationship with the person teaching. This page brings together the key details on each Rochester studio to help you compare your options and find the right fit.
