ANDY PILBOROUGH - SKINNER CONTACT FOR CLASSES IN LUTON, DUNSTABLE AND RICKMANSWORTH 07954 601628 WHY TEMPLAR MARTIAL ARTS? THE KNIGHTS TEMPLAR WERE THE FIRST WESTERN MARTIAL ARTIST. FOUNDED IN 1129, THE ORDER WAS FORMED TO PROTECT PILGRIMS AND TRAVELERS VISITING JERUSALEM. THEIR HEADQUARTERS WERE ON THE SITE OF THE BIBLICAL TEMPLE OF KING SOLOMON. THE WARRIOR MONKS DIVIDED THEIR TIME BETWEEN PRAYER AND TRAINING. ALTHOUGH A FORMIDABLE FIGHTING FORCE WHO WERE FEARED AND RESPECTED THROUGHOUT THE CRUSADES, THE KNIGHTS TEMPLAR TRADED WITH THE MUSLIM POPULATION AND ASSIMILATED ASPECTS OF THEIR CULTURE INTO THEIR RITUALS. THIS AND ENVY OF THEIR ACCUMULATED WEALTH LED TO THEIR DOWNFALL AND DENUNCIATION BY THE ESTABLISHED CHURCH. N.B. TEMPLAR MARTIAL ARTS IS A SECULAR CLUB DEVOTED TO PROMOTING THE SPORT OF KICKBOXING AND FREESTYLE KARATE. WE WELCOME AND WISH TO PROMOTE MARTIAL ARTS TO MEMBERS OF ALL FAITHS, ETHIC GROUPS AND ABILITIES. WE WORK ACTIVELY WITH SCHOOLS TO ENSURE THAT EQUAL OPPORTUNITY AND ACCESS TO OUR CLASSES IS PROVIDED TO MEMBERS WITH DISABILITIES AND LEARNING DIFFICULTIES.
GOLDEN BELT MARTIAL ARTS ASSOCIATION LICENCES ARE NOW AVAILABLE TO ALL MEMBERS AT £20 FOR ADULTS AND £17 FOR JUNIORS. THEY ARE ESSENTIAL FOR ALL FIGHTERS TAKING PART IN SANCTIONED BOUTS AGAINST OPPONENTS FROM OTHER CLUBS. THEY ARE ALSO A RECORD OF YOUR GRADINGS, BOUTS AND SPECIAL AWARDS |
THE CLUB NAME WAS CHOSEN AS A RESULT OF MY INTEREST IN MEDIEVAL HISTORY AND AS A MARK OF MY RESPECT TO KRUSADER M.A. THE CLUB THAT I TRAINED WITH FOR 10 YEARS. THE PILLARS ARE ALSO PART OF THE BADGE OF THE R.M.S. THE VENUE OF MY FIRST CLASSES WHEN THE CLUB WAS ESTABLISHED IN 2006
