The Dojo
A fully-equipped exercise room for our guests
Custom-made for martial artists, but also ideally suitable for many other physical activities & sports, the Dojo is available to our guests during their stay. This is subject to availability – sometimes it will be used for Dave’s private martial arts lessons.
The Dojo is also available for yoga, pilates, general fitness training etc.
Punchbags, speedball, a warrior wall, dumbells, kettlebells, battle ropes and a variety of functional fitness equipment are all supplied.
You can hire the Dojo for our own use for just £10 per hour, £20 for a half-day or £50 "unlimited" use for a whole week.
Reserve it with your original holiday booking or at any time during your stay.
Ryuu Shin - Dragon Spirit Martial Arts
Dave is a 3rd Dan Black Belt and Chief Instructor of Ryuu Shin Martial Arts Club, where he teaches Goshin Jujutsu and Modern Self Defence. He also runs private classes.
Guests are able to book Dave for private lessons during their stay. These can be booked online when you make your original booking to stay with us, or in person with Dave at any time during your stay.
Dave also runs private small group sessions and if you are an experienced martial artist you may be able to join in one of these classes during your stay. (By prior arrangement only.)
We also host visiting Instructors for very small, private seminars. During those times, we reserve the whole Harpers Barn site, so it never conflicts with the enjoyment of non-martial artist guests.
If you are interested in any of these seminars, please email Dave at sensei@ryuu-shin.com to discuss in more detail.
