Jeffrey Alexander School Of Martial Arts

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.

I feel challenged in class but never over-stretched and with C...

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.
