fightingandspirit believes in the psychotherapeutic power of martial arts training. We combine the two disciplines at regular training events to help participants find their inner warrior.We believe the and is a crucial element in our philosophy here at fightingandspirit. Martial arts have always offered participants an amazing opportunity to learn to trust and develop as part of a group. Equally, as experts in the field of counselling and psychotherapy, we recognise the mentally transformative potential of the mat room. Consequently, we understand that many adult learners of martial arts feel a desire to train for reasons of personal development rather than competition. Our passion is to harness this collaborative and compassionate aspect to training and use it to help you find your inner warrior. Although this journey is unique to each of us, fightingandspirit encourages participants to explore the shared dimensions of this journey at regular training days and longer retreats. These events offer a combination of martial arts training, physical training, teamwork and personal development groups. fightingandspirit training events are designed to enhance the health and wellbeing of all participants. As such, we welcome all skill levels and martial art disciplines and actively encourage newcomers to come join us.Visit our website at www.fightingandspirit.com to learn more and book your space on our upcoming CPD training events for therapeutic professionals.
