# The House of Budo Combat & Fitness
The House of Budo is a martial arts training facility in Dundee specialising in Kyokushin and K-1 Kickboxing. Founded in January 2023 by three experienced martial artists—Daryl McNally, Craig Wilton and Derek Patterson—the club welcomes students aged 12 and above, regardless of fitness level or experience.
The business caters to individuals seeking comprehensive martial arts education combined with fitness development. Members benefit from professional instruction in realistic self-defence, sports competition techniques, and physical conditioning, whilst also exploring Zen meditation and competitive sparring. The training environment emphasises personal progression at individual pace within a supportive team setting.
What distinguishes The House of Budo is the exceptional calibre of its coaching staff. The founders bring years of high-level competitive experience, including international representation for Scotland and multiple titles. Beyond weekly classes, the club fosters community through seminars, training camps, competitions and social events—creating a genuine sense of belonging rather than transactional membership.
The organisation positions martial arts as part of a holistic healthy lifestyle, explicitly targeting mental strength, discipline, social development and personal growth alongside physical fitness. Classes run three times weekly, with a welcoming approach emphasised through offering the first class free to beginners, removing barriers to entry for those curious about combat training.
