We brought a different martial art to the UK. Black is power, mystery, authority. The spider — patience, creativity, strength.

Sambo is a Russian combat art that fuses judo, wrestling, striking and ju-jitsu into a single sport. It teaches you how to defend yourself without weapons, and it builds confidence, fitness and creativity along the way.

The kit protects you head to toe, the curriculum is structured, and the room is welcoming. Sambo suits all ages — from kids finding their footing to adults committing to the craft for decades.

"Fight with your heart, stay focused." — Black Spider Academy
