Independent news Xen-Do martial arts kicking off


Xen-Do’s instructors boast a range of international martial arts accolades between them


A family-run group of martial arts clubs in London is hoping the launch of the fourth Xen-Do site in Baker Street will be the catalyst for significant expansion of the brand. Xen-Do – a combination of many martial


arts including karate, kick boxing, jujitsu and taekwondo – is offered via group classes, personal training sessions or a combination of the two, with members paying as they go. Having opened his first (dojo) club in 2002, eight times national martial arts champion Rafael Nieto has grown the Xen-Do concept, bringing in a professional team of eight full- time instructors, including his son Anthony.


With Baker Street joining existing sites in Camden, Golder’s Green and Marylebone, Nieto now hopes to open a number of new locations in 2015. “We feel the market is ready for a world class martial arts brand – we would like to be the country’s premier martial arts company,” says Nieto. “For the time being we aim to grow in London and we’re then looking to expand in the key regional cities such as Manchester, Birmingham and Bristol.” Though independent, Nieto adds that the company is also exploring the possibility of opening dojos inside existing health clubs.
