Our Team

Our Team is headed by Sensei IRFAN ANSARI who has been in Martial Arts since the age of 5yrs. The system devised by IRFAN amalgamates many aspects of various martial arts into one. Our system of MMA training lncludes training in Karate, Kickboxing, Ju-jitsu, Grappling, Weapons and Self-defence. This makes it a more complete system to train in and matches the need of todays environment. IRFAN also Lectures in Sport & Exercise Science. This makes his and his assistants' instruction even more exciting, particularly when techniques are explained from a scientific view point. His knowledge of Biomechanics, Sport Psychology and Exercise Physiology has resulted in some of his work being published in International Martial Arts magazines, and this makes The DOJO stand Head and Shoulders above any other club in the area.

IRFAN has also been recognised for his efforts by Rochdale Council's Recreation Services Depatment and has been awarded the HIGHLY COMMENDED status on many occasions further acknowledging not only the physical capability, but also the highly ethical and moral education instilled into his pupils, which should form a part of any good and dedicated coach. IRFAN believes the essence of success in Martial Arts lies in repeated endeavour. This forms the basis of learning at The DOJO and instills perseverance, determination and dedication among members to reach a higher level of performance at The DOJO and their Life 

Other members of the Team are all home-educated Instructors with a proven track records of successfull coaching within The DOJO Association. They are ......
