About
SK Cobras Martial Arts focuses on friendly mixed martial arts-based fitness classes for both adults and children. When we say mixed martial arts we mean we teach a wide variety of sports including Karate, Jui-Jitsu, Boxing, Kickboxing, Phillipino Martial Arts plus many more. We aim to build confidence, strength, get you taking part in competitions and teach you to protect yourself whilst making new friends. Adults of any age or ability are welcome. We tailor our training around you!
Our children’s classes consist of children aged 3 to 16 years old. The children’s team follow a grading system from white all the way to obtaining Dans on their black belts.
We also run an assistant instructor training programme. This is only available to selected children aged 10 and over, this not only improves their martial arts skills but benefits their leadership and confidence for later life.
A little about me...
I am Sven the owner of SK Cobras Martial Arts. I have been training in a range of martial arts for the last 25 years! I am therefore well equipped to know just what you need to succeed as I have done. I have competed all over the world winning Gold Medals and I am a 4 times World Champion. Originally from Cape Town, South Africa, I found my passion for teaching junior students when I was just a teenager. Whilst working in armed response I continued to train and compete in MMA. I also assisted in instructing military, police, body guards and security in advanced combat techniques. This was before venturing over to teach in the UK where I have now been instructing in SK Cobras Martial Arts for 5 years.
Under my affiliation with British Martial Arts & Boxing Association I am fully insured and when you register for membership you will have your own license number and personal insurance. I complete regular training courses in first aid, safeguarding and bulling prevention plus many more. I also and complete regular DBS checks so you can ensure you and your children are safe.

Testimonials
My little one who is only 3 started with SK Cobras and absolutely loves it. Amazing team. 5 ⭐️
M-ford Aled
"Isn't modern technology fantastic?! Noah loved seeing Sven and his Cobras buddies for a session 🐍 " Brilliant club, my son attends various sessions throughout the week, he has difficulty with social interactions, however he has flourished within the group and can confidentially call all the children there his friend, the children build each other up, giving the club a real family vibe. I myself have recently started the adults fitness womens group, what's great about this group is Sven will cater for all fitness levels and abilities all in one session. I would highly recommend this group for children and adults alike.

"Thanks Sven for choosing my 2 as some of the guinea pigs for trying out a live video lesson, shame it was cut short but they enjoyed it. PS my living room has now been put back in order 👍 " My children have attended SK cobras from the begining, over 6 years now. It is an amazing class, with lovely children and friendly atmosphere between the parents, there is a lovely relaxed family atmosphere where everyone helps each other out. Sven has many years experience teaching martial arts and it shows in the way he teaches the children. Classes are hard work, but always made fun and enjoyable. The children learn a wide range of martial arts, respect and the classes are amazing for building confidence. Sven will encourage the children to compete in outside competitions when they are ready to do so, but no-one is pressured into competing, if they are happy to just train and not compete that is fine. Sven also teaches a ladies fitness class and mixed adults classes which focus on a variety of different exercises and martial arts based skills, no class is the same as the last and again they are made enjoyable with a friendly atmosphere. Sven will work with you within your own capabilities, so you never feel pushed into doing something you can't do and will always change up an exercise to fit in around your abilities. These classes are very relaxed and enjoyable. Who knew exercise could be fun. If I could give 10 stars I would

My Daughter Amelie goes on a Thursday in Penycae she really enjoys it. I've stayed & watched a few sessions Sven's instructions are clear & the children follow with ease. His rules are simple & easy for them to understand & follow. I fully recommend to any parent who is thinking about their child taking up some form of martial arts.
