Club is run by instructor Sensei David Washington 3rd Dan, who has been training in martial arts for many years and has an extensive knowledge and understanding of the art, which has been modified into his own unique style. Sensei David started his Martial Arts career at the age 14 studying Boxing and Free Style karate. After leaving school he pursued his interest of physical training and took a sports science course. During this time he advanced his knowledge of the human anatomical structure and developed a strong understanding of the benefits that the discipline of Martial Arts can provide to an individual.
Following this Sensei David continued his training in Martial Arts and excelled in all areas of his training winning many competitions including 1st place in Male Advanced Kumite (Sparring). As a result he progressed up to a club instructor and assisted in several Door Supervisor training programs. At this point in his training Sensei David’s club chief instructor moved aboard. This move left Sensei David looking for more knowledge of the Martial Arts world. He tried a few other local Martial Arts clubs but found their training seriously below his expected level. Consequently he felt he could offer others the opportunity to achieve their full potential in Martial Arts and physical training by forming Ultimate Freestyle Martial Arts currently running in Worthing, West Sussex.
