ABOUT REAL SSK

Real SSK is a modern martial arts community built on decades of experience — and one mission: to help people get stronger, sharper and more confident, through high-impact training that actually works.

Our roots go deep. Led by Peter Kennedy, who's been teaching and training in martial arts for over 50 years, the Real SSK team is made up of expert instructors — all Black Belts with serious experience and warm smiles. We’ve trained under traditional systems, competed at high levels, and now we’re bringing that knowledge into a space that’s built for real people, not just fighters.

At its core, Real SSK blends the power and discipline of Northern Shaolin Kung Fu (specifically Long Fist / Ch’ang Ch’uan) with the raw athleticism of Sanda (Chinese Kickboxing) and Shuai Jiao (Chinese Wrestling).

What you get is a martial arts practice that’s:

• Powerful for self-defence

• Effective for strength and conditioning

• Grounded in tradition, but built for the modern world

No flashy performance moves here — just proven techniques, real contact, and a welcoming, energetic training vibe.

Whether you're looking for a new challenge, a fresh fitness routine, or just want to punch something (with great technique), come and train with us.
