About us The Tokei centre was formed in 1975 as a martial arts centre for the local community offering originally judo and karate classes to the local youth. Since then the centre has moved location several times and in the process developed into London's leading centre for martial arts, and the only purpose built martial arts centre in the country. The centre is run by martial artists and fitness experts for those who wish to train in the very best in martial arts, the latest fitness classes and alternative exercising approaches. We offer approximately fifteen different martial arts each week. We have some of the very best martial arts instructors on hand every day. Many of our instructors have National and International Coaching experiences. A high proportion of these instructors have themselves competed and been successful in competitions at the very highest levels and are now offering their experience to a new generation of martial artists that are destined to be the best in their chosen discipline. In 2004 several members of our Olympic freestyle wrestling club represented their respective countries in the Olympics. We often host the British Judo team; our ladies judo has had representatives at major National and International competitions. We would not want you to read this and think that this is a centre dedicated to crash, bang, wallop, full of blokes with broken noses Timeout Magazine described us in these terms: "….the place is refreshingly free of machismo and elitism. Beginners are welcome and there are plenty of female and junior members." In addition to the competitive martial arts there are a full range of softer and non-contact martial arts; the best of the alternative approaches to fitness and well-being: Pilates, Soca Aerobics, Yoga, Core Stability. We also offer a full timetable of traditional fitness activities; circuit training, a well equipped gym, indoor cycling classes and 1-2-1 personal training. Because the Tokei is not an organization aimed at making money we are in the enviable position to be able to offer all of our activities at exceedingly favourable rates. A question we are always being asked 'what does Tokei mean?' Tokei is Japanese for Fighting Cockerel, a reference to one of our original sponsors.
