# Hachidori Martial Arts
Hachidori Martial Arts is a family-owned, black-owned martial arts school operating across London and Medway with over 50 years of combined experience. Based at Harris Girl Academy in Dulwich, they specialise in teaching martial arts to children and adults of all abilities, from complete beginners to experienced practitioners.
The school focuses on developing physical prowess alongside mental sharpness and self-mastery. Their philosophy extends beyond combat techniques to encompassing self-preservation, confidence-building, and personal development across mind, body, and spirit. This holistic approach appeals to families seeking more than just fighting skills.
What distinguishes Hachidori is their commitment to small group classes, enabling instructors to provide personalised attention and comprehensive safety briefings—particularly important for newcomers. They explicitly welcome students of all abilities and experience levels, removing barriers to entry. Their black-owned and family-operated status reflects a business deeply rooted in community values.
The school caters to diverse age groups through a structured schedule, offering weekday and weekend sessions for children (5-15 years) and teenagers to adults (15+ years). They also provide specialist programmes, including a Street Smart Course targeting practical self-defence skills.
Additional amenities include free consultations for prospective students, on-site parking, and a welcoming environment specifically designed for children. This combination of experienced instruction, inclusive community approach, and comprehensive offerings makes Hachidori a distinctive choice for martial arts training in South London.
