Opening June 2026 with Judo. We are committed to making martial arts accessible to everyone — including adaptive programmes as we grow.
Safe, structured and fun. We build discipline, confidence and coordination through play-based judo. Gradings count nationally through Judoliitto — your child's progress is recognised wherever they go.
Technical development at your own pace. Individual attention — your coach knows your name. Your strengths and weaknesses. Regular Judoliitto gradings so your progress is always visible.
For athletes who want to compete seriously. Structured periodisation, dedicated competition preparation, and entry fees covered by the club for all team members. We invest in the athletes who commit.
Coming soon. Gi and no-gi grappling for adults. Technique over strength, every time. Self-defence, open mat, competition prep, led by a BJJ black belt.
Judo is for everyone. We are building a dedicated programme for practitioners with physical, cognitive or sensory differences — tailored, safe, fully integrated. Coming as we grow.
Additional disciplines and partner coaches will be announced before and after opening. The mat will never sit idle.
Whether you're stepping onto the mat for the first time, preparing to compete, or building a career in martial arts, there is a path for you at Kami.

Álvaro has spent over three decades on the mat as a competitor, coach and mentor. Holding a 4th IJF Dan in Judo, he brings personalized technical depth for serious development, be it as recreational or competitive, both in shiai and kata, and a deep belief that martial arts can transform lives at every age and every level. Kami Martial Arts is his life's work: not just a gym, but a genuine home built on the seven principles of Judo: community over ego, growth over comfort.
