Trips and Challenges




		Awarded United Kingdom’s Top Martial Arts Club 2009




		Saracen Martial Arts trips and challenges as a rule tend to come about from fund raising events. Traditionally our trips involve a challenge to test your mental strength as well as your physical ability along the way. In the past our trips have seen us travel to Scotland, Wales, Holland and much closer destinations such as Watton and Atleborough! And to the frustration of some of the instructors partners and wives they have even taken their kit with them on holiday. Training in places such as South Africa, Malta, Germany and Austria. Again, traditionally Black belt candidates have used these trips/challenges to fund their Black Belt gradings. All be it a split between the grading and the students chosen charity.
