Gongfu

Great skill derived through hard work is only the beginning.

Evolutionary Martial Arts is born from Sigung Paul Horrobin’s practical and progressive approach to traditional Gongfu training, now taken to its next level by Sifu Josh Nixon and The Evolutionary Concept.

For more information on The Evolutionary Concept and our class based in Staffordshire, England, then please check our About page.

This website is managed by Sifu Josh Nixon, who aside from his martial arts path with us teaches practical and progressive self-protection. More information on that can be found on the Evolutionary Self-Protection website.

A broad and effective conceptual framework. Influences from Wing Chun (詠春), Jun Fan Jeet Kune Do (振藩截拳道), Krav Maga (קרב מגע), Taijiquan (太極拳), Systema (Система), Muay Thai (มวยไทย), Jujutsu (柔術), Boxing and BJJ among others.

Research-based training methods and highly qualified instructors. Sifu Josh Nixon is a qualified teacher (PGCE) and member of the Chartered College of Teaching (MCCT) with training in first aid, safeguarding, health and safety risk management, fire safety and extinguishing, emotion coaching, teaching methodologies to differentiate for special educational needs, psychological and physical disabilities, CEOP, PREVENT anti-radicalisation, etc. He has been training in multiple martial arts and combative systems since 2001, teaching since 2009.

A proud member of the British Combat Association. Founded in 1993, the BCA is the UK’s foremost and most reputable self-defence and multi-style organisation. It’s home to many world-class instructors in nearly every martial art. Our membership and insurance is through the BCA, which costs just £30 per year and covers us to train with any of the BCA’s many other instructors and classes. Sifu Josh Nixon’s BCA membership number is 22282.

The highest quality of instruction available. Our students enjoy highly personalised training – there is no “one-size-fits-all” approach with us. Gradings come with a detailed breakdown of your performance and full debriefing, not just a generic pass or fail. Our instructorship course is modelled after the format of a post-graduate PGCE course for qualified teachers and is comparable in depth and breadth of coverage.

More than just martial arts. Evolutionary Health offers a further dimension of a truly holistic approach to managing health with evidence-based and effective approaches to fitness training, strength and conditioning, nutrition, stress management, lifestyle coaching and diverse wellbeing practices benefiting from current research and exciting recent developments across the scientific spectrum for no cost at all. Our aim is to help all of us become the best possible version of ourselves, which includes perhaps the most important training goal of all: to live a long, happy and healthy life.
