Brief History
initially a traditional Shukokai karate club, Levenshulme karate club, part of MMAA has incorparated a specialality class on its teaching method agenda.
FMA, Freestyle Martial Arts, is a combination of traditional karate, street defence, boxing, and some ground work techniques.
After training in different disaplines, two of the Levenshulme karate club instructors re-wrote a syllabus of certain techniques that fit together, learning many styles/disaplines cannot mix, so after a careful study, and hands on approach, a fighting art was written, to learn with ease, with a maximum statement.
After the process of this, one of the instructors ( Ian Travis ) tried this style out at the WKA english squad selection trials in early 2008, he earned bronze and was selected a place on the squad.
Not happy that a 3rd place was drawn, the instructors refined the syllabus.
In mid 2008, the 2nd instructor ( Jason Olsen ) enterd the WKA British nationals open , and won Gold to take the first place. in 2009 Jason Olsen was offered a place on the WKC England squad after gaining second in the fight rounds.
Levenshulme Karate Club/ MMAA are still tweeking techniques, studying the human dymatics of the body to controll the outcome with maximum efficency..
