Kenn Forrest

Hi, my name is Kenn Forrest

I am a multi kickboxing world champion in several disciplines. My martial arts journey started when I was three, in 1978. I have had the pleasure to travel the world and compete at the highest level. Now retired from competing, I enjoy sharing my knowledge of martial arts; its teachings, history and skills to thrive in today's fast paced life.

Our ethics

Emulous martial arts is the perfect blend of traditional martial arts, its teachings, and core fundamentals of discipline, control and respect mixed with modern teachings and science backed training methods to help you develop as a person and martial artist.

A really friendly club, everybody helps each other. My daughter loves coming to the children's classes ran by Kenn, and the ladies class on a Monday is great. All abilities are welcomed - which is a good thing in my case!
