Welcome to the Hidden Fist Martial Arts Foundation

The GOOOCH.I.K.F. Scunthorpe Club has been running for 3 years in Scunthorpe.

It is run by Michael Gooch who is our Chief Instructor and the Founder of the Hidden Fist Martial Arts Foundation and Amanda Hickling our Self Defence Instructor.

This Foundation was set up several years ago,' By the Founder and Chief Instructor Mitch Gooch, 'to help victims of bullying within the North Lincolnshire area, regain their confidence and learn some worthwhile martial arts skills within a safe enviroment, our aim has a corganisation and club is not to promote violence, but the opposite. To help our students learn how to defend against violence when it necessary, and walk away from it whenever it is possible. And also to help Disabled students get into Martial Arts.

We are not a traditional Martial Arts Club as we work with many types of students, the young and old and the Disabled. We are a Non Profit Organisation which Puts our money back into our club and the community we live in. Our students come from many back grounds but we are run for Low Income families who cannot afford to train at some of the more traditional schools within our area.

In a time were money is tight and places for children to attend after school activities maybe of a high cost for some families we charge our students families a reasonable rate per session which allows most too train regularly twice weekly. At our New Venue in Scunthorpe at Listy's Health Gym, West Common Lane,Scunthorpe North Lincolnshire DN17 1DS.

We work with both able bodied and disabled Children and Adults in a Family setting. We are a club of Volunteers who do not work with others for a wage but work with children and Adults for free. This is what makes our club different. We teach our students such skills as Kungfu, Tai Chi,Aikido- Nimbo- Jujitsu, 'Multi Style Martial Arts and Self Defense.

Our Goal for all students is to help them by getting them through our strict ranking and grading systems to Full Instructor Level,'which then promotes such skills as their own: Self Confidence, 'Perservance, 'Discipline, 'Respect for others & more Importantly themselves. When do this we then move onto Adavnced Level Training by teaching all of our newly qualified Instructors to teach with a Fully qualified Disabled Instructor as their guide to teach other Disabled students,'groups and abled bodied students alongside each other in classes all as part of their training. This is done by promoting all of our students through a Senior Ranking system to help us assess their training requirements,'needs and skill set on a one on one basis. We also Introduce College Level courses and qualifications as part of their advanced training. These courses Include Emergency First Aid skills, Child Protection ,Safe Guarding Children and Working with Disabled People in Sports qualifications at Level 1,'2 and 3.
