# Hachidori Martial Arts
Hachidori Martial Arts is a London-based martial arts school operating from Harris Girl Academy in Dulwich, with an additional location in Strood, Medway. Built on over 50 years of martial arts heritage, the academy offers a distinctive approach to combat training that extends beyond physical technique to encompass mental discipline and personal development.
The school caters to both children and adults across all ability levels, from complete beginners to advanced practitioners. Their class structure is deliberately small-group based, ensuring instructors can provide individualised attention and comprehensive safety instruction to each student. This approach makes the academy particularly welcoming for those trying martial arts for the first time.
What sets Hachidori apart is their emphasis on self-preservation and confidence-building alongside technical martial arts training. As a black-owned, family-run business, they bring personal investment and cultural authenticity to their instruction. The academy provides classes across multiple age groups throughout the week, with Saturday and Wednesday sessions serving both juniors (5-15 years) and teenagers through to adults.
The school demonstrates genuine accessibility through free consultations and available parking at their Dulwich location. Their Street Smart Course offering indicates a commitment to practical self-defence education relevant to urban environments. Rather than pursuing quantity, Hachidori prioritises quality instruction and meaningful student development, making them suitable for families seeking long-term martial arts development in South London.
