JASMA is fantastic! I've recently joined the school and train Xingyiquan, Baguazhang and Qigong with Master Jef Sutherland at JASMA, Battersea. I can't recommend the school enough. Teaching is both theory and practice meaning my experience has been rich, inspiring and hugely motivational. I've felt benefits to my health - particularly balance, flexibility and strength - and my self confidence, upping my wellbeing in everyday life. I feel challenged in class but never over-stretched and with Coach's deep knowledge of his martial arts lineage, I know what's being taught is genuine, so I can just relax, train hard and enjoy the benefits! My only frustration is I can't commit to training other styles at JASMA, all in good time...

Since I started training at JASMA in 2006, I have learned lots about traditional, Chinese Martial Arts. It's fascinating how the ideas and theories are still relevant today. Jef teaches the physical, philosophical and modern-day applications in a fun and engaging way. He is a very inspiring teacher with decades of martial arts experience behind him. This really comes through in the lessons, especially the quality and depth of his knowledge. I have also been lucky enough to travel around the world with team JASMA and had some very unique experiences. I highly recommend the classes.

After practising Wing Chun 15 years ago, I wanted to take it up again.
I looked around South London for a class and went for JASMA because the high level of experience I could see they had.
Right from the start, during my free trial session, I was made to feel welcome and began my training again immediately.
I have now been going for 2 months and the classes are excellent and Sifu Jef Sutherland is a great coach.
If you want to learn Wing Chun with both in-depth theory and practical teaching then JASMA is a great place for people of any age and experience to develop their skills.
I can’t recommend it highly enough and I’m thoroughly enjoying learning Wing Chun again!

I love being part of JASMA.
I originally joined just to train Wing Chun as i had trained this style previously, but soon started training the Shaolin style and felt myself drawn to look into the other styles that are taught as well.
I have improved as a person and a martial artist since training with JASMA and I still continue to improve now.
All of the people that I train with are a delight to be around and some of the hardest working people I have ever met.
If you have an interest in Chinese martial arts, I couldn't think of anywhere better to start your journey.

I've been training with Coach Jef Sutherland and JASMA for several years now. Started with Shaolin which is an amazing art that focuses both the body and mind, then adding more recently the Bagua and Xing Yi Quan 'internal' styles, which focus more on breathing and efficiency of movement, which has great all-round life benefits.
Throughout these styles, Coach Jef's knowledge, motivation and teaching experience has been inspirational, as has the welcoming JASMA family atmosphere. Heartily recommended.
