About UK SDMAG

The UK.SDMAG is a not for profit organisation based within the picturesque village Soulbury near Leighton Buzzard. The HQ contains a woodland, meadow and gym facility where realistic self defence scenarios are played out and studied.

The UK.SDMAG operates as an independent body for the UK Self Defence and Martial Arts Industry, providing assistance, training and support to those working within the industry. SDMAG is an awarding body for one of the only Self Defence Instructor qualifications in the UK. It also helps to protect the public from harm by vetting member martial arts and self defence instructors.

The UK.SDMAG works with many charities and childrens/youth groups to introduce martial arts as a positive intervention and activity that builds community, and at risk groups such as women suffering from domestic abuse. UK.SDMAG also works closely with fellow and founding member Combat Academy UK.
