Martial Arts
The gentlemen at Impact Martial Arts and Bujinkan Ikkan Dojo kindly asked if I would include links to their sites upon my page about Martial Arts in the Sport in Rotherham section. When I was adding their information I had a quick look I would have a quick look at other martial arts clubs in the town and borough. My, was I surprised when I found out how many different clubs and associations there actually are. Some practice martial arts as sport, some as exercise and some for real. Pay your money and take your choice.
