Kickstart Dawley: Welcoming a Thrilling New Martial Arts Club

Last Saturday, Cllr Ben Carter – Mayor of Great Dawley, along side Cllr Ollie Vickers – Telford & Wrekin Borough Councillor and Cabinet Member for Economy, were delighted to officially open Trinity Martial Arts, located just off George Street, Dawley.

This brand new facility, located in heart of Great Dawley offers a wide range of classes in Martial Arts, KAPAP Krav Maga & Self Defence Classes for both children and adults.

The club, which was founded in June 2021 had previously had classes in rentable spaces across Telford, but its rapid growth has meant the need for a new, permanent training centre, now all under one roof.

Ed Hodgson – Director of Trinity Martial Arts, said:

“We’re really excited to launch our new base on Dawley High Street as we continue to grow.

“We’re introducing martial arts, self-defence, personal safety awareness and conflict avoidance to people of all ages, from young children upwards, as well as providing support to vulnerable people within our borough, as our classes can improve self-confidence, mental health, physical health and fitness levels and teach good ethics and morals.

“We also offer pure martial arts classes with recognised grading opportunities.

“We’re really grateful for the start-up grant from Telford & Wrekin Council which has enabled us to secure this unit on the high street and take our business to the next level.”

Councillor Ollie Vickers, Telford & Wrekin Council’s Cabinet Member for the Economy, said:

“This is fantastic news for Dawley and brings a popular martial arts business to the town which will attract increased footfall to Dawley and the high street from across Telford and Wrekin and beyond.

“This is another example of where we are bringing something different to our high streets and transforming a previously empty unit into a centre which will benefit Dawley and the wider community.

“We look forward to seeing the business continuing to grow in the months and years ahead.”
