Welcome to Fusion Martial Arts & Fitness, a family run academy dedicated to delivering a professional, fun and safe Martial Arts training environment for students of all ages, abilities and experience levels.

At Fusion we pride ourselves on our fitness and on our ability to provide students with a new level of confidence and inner strength. If you are looking for a fun place to get fit and toned or you are interested in the competitive side of Martial Arts then come along and have a go.

At Fusion we do not specialise in any one Martial Art but believe in practicing and respecting a combination of Martial Arts styles. From street style self-defence, impressive Tae Kwon Do kicks to the discipline of learning traditional Wado Ryu Karate techniques and katas. This approach gives our students invaluable knowledge and skills for both competitive Martial Arts and everyday life.

As well as regular classes, students who wish to be involved in the competitive side of Martial Arts will have the opportunity to train with the GBMAA (Great Britain Martial Arts Association) National Squad, and take part in competitions held in the UK. With progression there will be the opportunity to compete both in Europe and world-wide.

Providing good tuition means taking the time to listen. We will work with you every step of the way to ensure you receive the training you want at the level you need.

I have only recently attended Darrens all women fitness classes and have found them to be brilliant. Its hard work but worth every minute. Darrens instructions are clear and he understands that all who attend are at different fitness levels. The kick boxing element of the class is great and Darren again explains in detail what to do. I would highly recommend Darren and his ALL WOMENS fitness class to every woman out there who needs and wants to improve on their fitness.

Fantastic experience: My son first was introduced to fusion for a friend's birthday party at the age of 5. From the moment he walked into the dojo he was hooked. Fast forward 10 years later and he is still there. He started as a lil dragon, moved up through kids zone to cadets now trains with the adults. He has never wanted to do anything else. He entered his first competition at the age of 6, and he is still competing, him competing has taught him alot, it has taught him how to win gracefully and how to lose gracefully. Darren had seen the potential in Riley and has nurtured it and brought out the best of him. Riley really looks up to Darren and respects him alot, which says alot for the way Darren treats the kids. He now helps coach the new younger ones which has done wonders for his confidence and his self belief, and its great for the kids to see one of their peers in a role like that, it gives them a place that they can aspire to be in one day. Best thing I have ever done is take Riley to fusion. Our family grew when we walked through them doors.

Fantastic experience: My daughter has been attending Fusion since she was 4yrs old. She is now 13 and still fighting fit. Despite her medical set backs her training has helped with these. Namely her breathing, stamina, core strength and flexibility. She hadn't really seen any of these as its a process that takes time and dedication. Until she started cheer and these traits were clear for all to see. Upon receiving much praise for these abilities she saw for the first time just what Fusion had given her. Not to mention the mental stability, self confidence, punctuality, understanding of giving and receiving respect. Just to name a few. Fusion is not just about being able to take care of yourself in a physical situation but also being given the tools to confidently tackle Any situation. My daughter has become an incredible young woman. Never judemental. Never abusive. The first to help and the last to leave. Thank you Fusion Martial Arts. The concrete pillar on which she stands.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Professionalism , Quality A great friendly, but committed place to learn / improve martial arts kick boxing. Motivational, yet understanding to every individuals needs. Great for improving fitness as well as learning the ability to protect yourself, and control emotions. Thoroughly recommended club, with a real team feeling, and social interaction.

Fantastic experience: I can't rate Darrens's teaching and skill more highly. I always feel safe but pushed in my ability. It has changed the way I think about fitness and self defence. Just awesome.

Gemma Jones 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I have been attending Fusion martial arts for around 3 years now and I absolutely love it. All the members are so friendly and welcoming and I have made some great friends with the same interests. Darren is a fantastic instructor and really plans out his classes, taking your thoughts and problem areas into planning his classes. He knows how to make you work and pushes you to your limits. There is a wide range of gym equipment/weights and machines. My daughter has been attending for the last few months and it has really motivated her into getting back into fitness. Highly recommend, 5*

Fantastic experience: Been going to Fusion for about six months now and can honestly say I think I'm going to do another six. Coach conducts himself and his classes to the highest standard and always keep you on your feet, all the equipment, and the place in general, is kept in prestine condition, and all the people that go are friendly, patient and professional. Would recommend

Fantastic experience: My son has attended fusion since just before his 5th birthday. Hes thrived, grown in confidence and made fantastic long life friends. I truly believe that fusion has had so much of a positive effect on his life that he couldn’t be without it now. He has a great relationship with his sensei and has the upmost respect for the sport. It was the best thing we ever did and we will continue to support him in his journey with fusion . If anyone is looking for a place to send children or even join as adults then this is your place. It’s a hard working respectful club and keeping youths off the street and even teaching young women and even men how to protect themselves. Can’t wait to see what the future hold for our son who has come so far already.

Jemma Shingler 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Our son has been attending fusion for years and it has been a huge part of his upbringing, it’s introduced discipline and fitness. He’s had two competitions this year, both of which he has won his fights and another coming up. We look at Darren and his family like an extension of our own family and won’t be long until our next little treasure is welcomed into the world of MMA.

Fantastic experience: My best decision of 2021 was to book classes with Darren! The classes were the right level of both enjoyable and challenging. Darren was attentive in understanding my reasons for starting and then made each lesson relevant and impactful. I've seen great results physically and mentally, as well as coming away with a meaningful experience that carries beyond the class. I highly recommend and suggest you go ahead and book with him and Fusion. Thanks Darren.

Ayda K 2 years ago

Neil G 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Positive: Professionalism , Quality , Value Felt like part of the team from the day I started! Darren really pushed me to give it my all and in 3 months I'm 2.5 stone down and fitter than ever! Without a doubt the best decision I've ever made! If you want to learn martial arts and/or fitness, look no further!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality , Value My fiancée has been going to this dojo for just over 2 years and it's a place she really enjoys going to and being a part of. It has boosted her confidence and she has become so much fitter and happier in herself. Darren the Sensei has always come across as genuine and professional. Would highly recommend!

Becca C 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Absolutely fantastic Dojo. Everyone is so supportive and friendly. It is a family run business and you feel a part of his extended family. I have been training at the Dojo for over 2 years, I would not want to train anywhere else! Sensie really knows his stuff, training there is tough but very rewarding, if you like pushing yourself to the limits, this is definitely the place to be!

Avi Karia 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Amazing dojo, fully equipped and tough but rewarding training. Sensei Darren has been a martial artist for many many years and really knows his stuff. Can not recommend enough .

Fantastic experience: After several years of taking my son training, I booked on to a 6 week beginners boxing class. I thought worse case scenario if it was too tough I hadn’t committed to too much too soon, I was hooked the first class. It’s not easy and it’s scary when you don’t know what to expect, but the outcome is worth it! Fusion is full of all walks of life all at different levels of fitness. I’m a forty year old women who hadn’t exercised in at least twenty years. I now do 4 classes a week and one to one training a day a week. I’ve lost 6 stone and my confidence is through the roof. Best of all I genuinely enjoy it. The support you’ll receive is not just from Sendai Darren but the family he’s created there. If your unsure about taking the plunge, just do it!

Julia White 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Great place to gain confidence and fitness at the same time. Myself and daughter joined nearly 2 years ago and are still enjoying each challenge Darren throws at us. I have also joined the Boxing Course on a Friday and whilst I thought 7pm was pyjama time, I am so glad I signed up, as it is a great end to a sometimes trying work week. Darren offers support, encouragement and a safe environment, the people we train with are also supportive and non judgemental, which you don't always get in main stream gyms. If you thought of trying it, go for it!!

Natasha King 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: An amazing dojo and an even better environment to train in, with a very dedicated coach and brilliant system in place. I’ve been training here for near to a decade and the hard work the team puts in is represented in every way. Though the training is difficult at times, it pushes you to the limit and shows you what you are made of. The level of growth and the skills I’ve obtained from joining Team Fusion have been unlike any other. I honestly wouldn’t go anywhere else to learn kickboxing.

Fantastic experience: It took months for me to finally build up the confidence to join Fusion and make a start at turning my life around. When I finally joined and stepped in there for the first time, Sensei Darren welcomed me and has been more than friendly and most of all encouraged me every step of the way. The workouts are a massive challenge, but Darren instills the belief in me that I was missing to do my best at every session. I am a big lad and was scared stiff but everyone has been so supportive and my mental and physical health has started to turn a corner, but I still know I have a long way to go and Darren will push me every week. Darren is so switched on, passionate and respectful. I can honestly say it's an honour to be part of the class and the team work he instills. What I am trying to say is, if I can do it anyone can. It may take you months to join but once you do, that buzz.....that feeling after a workout there's nothing like it. During testing times the Dojo is Covid safe, you each have your own area which is cleaned after every session. He checks everyone's temperatures at the door and takes our safety very seriously.

Fantastic experience: Fusion Martial Arts & Fitness, where do I start... First my son started here, it has really helped him with his confidence & speaking up more. He loves going & trains hard when he is there. I, myself tried a boxing course to see what it was like & what my son does. I now attend the women's only class & love it, my fitness & strength has come a long way. Darren is a very dedicated sensei who is very passionate about teaching martial arts, he always wants the best for his students & helps in anyway he can. My daughter has now started going & she is doing well. Lastly I have managed to get my husband to attend to, he is slowly getting there with his fitness. It's a fantastic dojo.

Fantastic experience: Great Gym. Very knowledgeable & experienced trainer, makes everyone feel welcome. Pushes you both physically and mentally whilst also making it enjoyable and a good laugh. Thanks Darren for all the work you put in.

Puteri Watson 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Thanks so much to Darren, Julia and Xandra! All three trainers were extremely professional and provided a lot of professional support and guidance. The two week training programme was very well thought out and well adapted to our abilities, needs and goals. I really liked the fact that we had such great facilities just for the two of us the whole time- that was a real luxury. Highly recommended and look forward to to the next session!

Fantastic experience: Fusion is hands down the best place in Kent for mixed martial arts. It is the perfect place for beginners and experienced martial artist alike! Wether it’s fitness, self defence or competition fighting you’re looking for, Fusion is the place. Darren is a great instructor and role model. Fusion is great for all ages as Darren can cater for every age range and knows how to work with people regardless of how much or how little previous experience they have. Whilst I was at fusion I was the fittest I have ever been. Not only physically but also mentally. It is a great way to keep fit and also translates to life outside of martial arts. If you have even a slight will to try a martial art, make the right choice first time and pick fusion! You won’t be disappointed.

kimberley felton 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I joined here a few years ago to get fit and walked away with so much more. Fusion is a safe and supportive environment with an experienced trainer, for all levels. I was very nervous about joining because I had never done anything like this before, but it pushed me out of my comfort zone and I gained so much confidence. Fusion Martial Arts also helped me to get to the level of fitness I needed to pass the army fitness tests, so I was well prepared. For anyone thinking of joining, it might be scary at first but it is an amazing place to have fun, challenge yourself and meet new people who make you feel welcome as soon as you walk through that door. I’m at university now and the martial arts classes that are available here do not come close to the high level of standard at Fusion - the bar has been set and other clubs can’t compare!

Amber Steward 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I came to this dojo 8 months ago on a beginners kickboxing course. I was a little nervous and not exactly sure what I was getting myself in for. I can honestly say from the first class I was hooked and haven't looked back! Darren is a dedicated sensei who is very passionate about teaching martial arts, you can tell he takes great pride in what he does and genuinely wants his students and anybody attending his classes to do well and get the most out of it! The classes are tough, and really push you to you're limits, but its also so much fun and so rewarding at the same time. I feel through the classes I've grown in confidence as well as fitness and strength. My only regret it not finding this dojo sooner!
