Our Story.
Welcome to Shinpo Martial Arts, a new club with a rich history. Founded in 2023 by Sensei Silvio La Valle, our aim is to provide high-quality and affordable Martial Arts instruction in the North West of England.
​
At Shinpo Martial Arts, we view Martial Arts as more than just a hobby; it's a way of life. We train, teach and grow together, instilling values of discipline, respect and integrity in our students through engaging and enjoyable and energetic classes.
​
Every aspect of our club holds significance, from our name, Shinpo, meaning "Progress," to our uniforms and techniques. We entrust our values to our students, believing that there is no greater reward than witnessing someone achieve success through hard work. Whether these achievements be on the mat or in their personal life.
​
Our club's badge depicts a tree, chosen for its symbolic meanings:
Harmony and Balance: Trees represent the delicate balance between strength and flexibility, reminding us to seek harmony in our interactions with nature and ourselves, creating equilibrium in our lives.
​
Patience and Growth: Like a tree, personal growth requires patience. It takes time, nurturing and dedication to develop skills and reach one's full potential. The tree on our badge symbolises the value of perseverance and the rewards that come with long-term effort.
Reflection and Connection: Trees offer a sense of reflection and connection to nature. They remind us to take time for contemplation and find solace in the tranquility of our surroundings.
Wisdom and Resilience: Trees have long been associated with wisdom and resilience. Their enduring presence and ability to weather storms serve as a reminder of the strength and wisdom that comes with age and experience.
Join us at Shinpo Martial Arts, where we honour tradition, inspire progress and cultivate both physical and personal growth.
