About The Wabi-Sabi Academy
We are friendly and family run. It is our goal to make a positive difference to the lives of those who train with us from 3 years old to 93 years old.
The Wabi-Sabi Academy Description
The Wabi-Sabi Academy is a unique blend - bringing Eastern Culture and Western Culture together in beautiful surroundings.
Whether you simply want to relax with a pot of tea and a book (see Wabi Sabi Tearoom), have tea with friends, have time to yourself to meditate, perhaps learn a martial art, self defence or have a go at the beautiful and healing Chinese Health Qigong, we have it here.
Our vision is to provide a place and the resources where we can be a community that educates, lifts, mentors and encourages us all to be healthy, balanced and compassionate people.
We promote long-term, sustainable, holistic health.
We do not teach a sport. We teach martial arts.
A way of being.
Be believe that self-defence is:
•Lifelong healthy balanced exercise
•Avoidance of common preventable diseases
•Avoidance and prevention of violence in all its forms
•Reducing prejudice
•Tackling environmental issues
•Raising self esteem, self image, self worth
•Increasing confidence
•Developing communication and leadership skills
•Knowing what to do in an emergency
•Learning to read
•Being resourceful
• Healthy diet
•Conscientious consumerism
•Physical self defence
•Anger control
•Peaceful conflict resolution
•Empathy / emotional intelligence
•Respect for self and others
•Being happy
•Dealing with stress
•Time management
and so much more. . .
Qigong is a method of self healing. It is low impact. slow and gentle and can be modified for those who can not walk. It is gentle and flowing but is proven to dramatically improve health and well being. It has impressive effects on the respiratory system, flexibility and muscular strength. It is thought that regular practice of qigong can prevent and even cure disease. It reduces stress and balances hormones too!

Remember no training tonight - See you Wednesday!
So ...I’m not sure there are words. This is totally amazing and inspiring. Can we make a fabulous display piece?
Here are some of the photos from the grading the other week, taken by our resident photographer Howard! A huge well done to Sharon and Ewan who achieved their 1st Dan blackbelts at Messingham. The journey starts now 🥋
It was an honour to have Grandmaster Winship at the club tonight. It was a really good turnout to his sweeping seminar with students from multiple clubs in attendance. We learnt some really interesting moves that I’m sure we’ll all be keen to keep practising! Thank you again, Sir -Callum
GrandMaster Mike will be holding a sweeping seminar on Monday 25th March - 6.45 pm to 8.15 pm at Wabi Sabi Kwan Dojang. Usual class price (£4. max £8 for family). This is an ideal opportunity to learn/practice sweeping techniques with an excellent GrandMaster. This is open to everyone so please make the effort to attend. Callum McNally can you let Uni peeps know too. ... Look forward to seeing you there.
